Package: libc-bin Version: 2.36-9+deb12u4 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/iconv
% printf '\xc3\xa4' | iconv -futf8 -tascii iconv: illegal input sequence at position 0 - First, according to the FSF's own coding standards (https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/GNU-Manuals.html), it should be "invalid" instead of "illegal" since this byte sequence is not "prohibited by law". - The input sequence is not even invalid. It's correct UTF-8 for U+00E4. The actual problem is that this character is not representable in the output charset. The message gives no indication about this. - I tried to report it upstream, but that's also broken. According to https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Reporting-Bugs.html, bugs should be reported at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html, but this page redirects to https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/libc/index.html which does not mention reporting bugs. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'proposed-updates-debug'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-18-amd64 (SMP w/24 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libc-bin depends on: ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u4 Versions of packages libc-bin recommends: ii manpages 6.03-2 libc-bin suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed
