Bug#976884: UDD: encoding issue in bug titles
Package: qa.debian.org Severity: normal User: qa.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: udd 19:36 < jcristau> looks like something's messing up my bug title in https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=firefox&suite=sid 20:14 < bunk> string sanitizing to prevent exploits through bug titles? 20:34 < aurel32> that or encoding issues 20:34 < aurel32> it's taken from udd 20:38 < aurel32> and there is the same issue in udd, at least in the web interface 21:16 < aurel32> and udd returns: 976731 | firefox: FTBFS on arm64 (explicit specialization in non-namespace scope â\u0080\u0098class js::wasm::BaseRegAllocâ\u0080\u0099) 21:19 < aurel32> so this just looks like a UDD issue when importing the data
Bug#976884: UDD: encoding issue in bug titles
Hi, > â\u0080\u0098class I had a very similar issue in Lintian's database a few weeks ago. It was caused by uploading (properly UTF-8 encoded) JSON to Postgres. The Perl driver DBD::Pg encoded the data again and picked the 7-bit clean escape sequences according to RFC4627, which is what I believe you are seeing. They are further described here: https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::PP#ascii My solution was to disable the automatic decoding layer in DBD::Pg via 'pg_enable_utf8 => 0'. It mirrors how I handle encoding elsewhere (i.e. explicitly and without PerlIO, Bug#972878) and works great, but did not enjoy much support on IRC in either the Perl or the Postgres communities.. Kind regards Felix Lechner
