Package: debian-el Version: 26.4-1 Severity: normal When I switched from my formerly preferred iso-latin-1 language environment to a utf-8 one, deb-view-dired-view suddenly stopped working. Now the *.deb-DATA buffer is always empty on both emacs21 and emacs-snapshot. The following log is left in the *Messages* buffer in emacs-snapshot:
deb-view processing deb file debian-el_26.4-1_all.deb... Parsing tar file...done deb-view processing deb file debian-el_26.4-1_all.deb... Parsing tar file... Warning: premature EOF parsing tar file File mode specification error: (end-of-buffer) If debug-on-error is enabled, that changes to deb-view processing deb file debian-el_26.4-1_all.deb... Parsing tar file...done deb-view processing deb file debian-el_26.4-1_all.deb... Parsing tar file... Warning: premature EOF parsing tar file tar-mode: End of buffer The debugger is not invoked, though. :-( Widening the *.deb-DATA buffer with "C-x n w" shows the message gzip: stdin: not in gzip format there. To reproduce this, start emacs -q, type M-x prefer-coding-system <RET> utf-8 <RET> and load some *.deb file in dired. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (3, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.32 Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages debian-el depends on: ii binutils 2.16.1cvs20051214-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii emacs-snapshot [emac 1:20051215-1 The GNU Emacs editor (development ii emacs21 [emacsen] 21.4a-3 The GNU Emacs editor ii reportbug 3.18 reports bugs in the Debian distrib Versions of packages debian-el recommends: pn dlocate <none> (no description available) ii groff-base 1.18.1.1-10 GNU troff text-formatting system ( ii wget 1.10.2-1 retrieves files from the web -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
