Root Cause

Having a changelog with non-UTF-8 characters (like Czech or French specific letters from alphabets), such RPM fails to be uploaded to a pulp/Satellite repository.

Note that various packaging guidelines for many Linux distributions (incl. Fedora/RHEL) do not allow such non-UTF8 characters data. Therefore, for pulp/Satellite, that package is an invalid input.

Within underlying This content is not included.Bugzilla, this has been discussed in more detail with possible consideration to improve error message.

Diagnostic Steps

Execute the following command to inspect for non-UTF-8 characters in the changelog of the package you are trying to upload:

rpm -qp --changelog <packagename>.rpm
