Package: install-info Version: 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Severity: normal Using system locale de_DE.UTF-8 update-info-dir creates a somehow broken dir file. This results in emacs info not recognizing the encoding used and the standalone info browser displaying some bogus characters.
How to reproduce: - switch system locale - run update-info-dir - start info browser in emacs23 or standalong browser output with emacs: "File: dir, Node: Top Dies ist der Beginn des INFO-Baums (dir)Top Dieser Verzeichnis-Knoten zeigt ein Men\303\274 aller Hauptpunkte an. ... * Gzip: (gzip). The gzip command for compressing files. \240\227 B* Ada mode: (emacs-23/ada-mode). " Note: if I open the dir file in emacs manually (using find-file) it does not recognize it as utf-8. Where "Men\303\274" should be "MenĂ¼". For me it seems dir should be encoded in utf-8 and for the most parts it looks alright. But some entries are intermixed with bogus entries (see Gzip / Ada mode above). Maybe this is caused by broken documentation? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64 (SMP w/3 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages install-info depends on: ii libc6 2.10.1-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries install-info recommends no packages. install-info suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
