Description Alexandre Rostovtsev 2012-12-28 23:49:23 UTC 
(As reported downstream at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449062)

The daemon/gdm-slave.xml contain two U+2022 bullet characters without any good reason. Their presence causes failure when using python3.2 and a non-Unicode locale to build gdm:

Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 231323

  • File "/usr/bin/gdbus-codegen-python3.2", line 37 in <module> 
    sys.exit(codegen_main.codegen_main())
  • File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/site-packages/gdbus_codegen/codegen_main.py", line 170 in codegen_main 
    xml_data = f.read()
  • File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/encodings/ascii.py", line 26 in decode 
    return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 766: ordinal not in range(128) 

IMHO these characters should be removed.
