Package: request-tracker3.6 Version: 3.6.1-4 Severity: grave Hi,
We're running RT via SpeedyCGI from Apache 2, with MySQL as the backend database. After upgrade from an older RT 3.2 installation, the character set in the web interface got all screwy -- everything was right in the database and per e-mail, but in short, any text would be converted from UTF-8 to ISO 8859-1 and then output raw to stdout... unless it was somehow close to a character that couldn't be converted to ISO 8859-1 (such as a heart glyph). Note that I'm saying "close"; other text on the page would still go through the same odd conversion. Simply adding binmode STDOUT, ":utf8"; to the top of mason_handler.scgi fixed the problem immediately. (It should be noted that we are running using a tiny patch to mason_handler.scgi, under a different file name, but I'm pretty sure it has no change of affecting this kind of thing.) -- Package-specific info: Changed files: -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages request-tracker3.6 depends on: ii exim4 4.63-17 metapackage to ease exim MTA (v4) ii exim4-daemon-heavy [mail-tra 4.63-17 exim MTA (v4) daemon with extended ii libapache-session-perl 1.81-1 Perl modules for keeping persisten ii libcache-cache-perl 1.05-2 Managed caches of persistent infor ii libcache-simple-timedexpiry- 0.26-1 Perl module to cache and expire ke ii libcalendar-simple-perl 1.17-2 Perl extension to create simple ca ii libclass-returnvalue-perl 0.53-1 A return-value object that lets yo ii libdbd-mysql-perl 3.0008-1 A Perl5 database interface to the ii libdbi-perl 1.53-1 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bu ii libdbix-searchbuilder-perl 1.45-2 Encapsulate SQL queries and rows i ii libexception-class-perl 1.21-1 a module that allows you to declar ii libfcgi-perl 0.67-2 FastCGI Perl module ii libfreezethaw-perl 0.43-3 converting Perl structures to stri ii libgd-graph-perl 1.43.08-2.1 Graph Plotting Module for Perl 5 ii libgd-text-perl 0.86-3.1 Text utilities for use with GD ii libhtml-mason-perl 1:1.35-2 HTML::Mason Perl module ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.55-1 A collection of modules that parse ii libhtml-scrubber-perl 0.08-3 Perl extension for scrubbing/sanit ii liblocale-maketext-fuzzy-per 0.02-2 Maketext from already interpolated ii liblocale-maketext-lexicon-p 0.62-1 Lexicon-handling backends for "Loc ii liblog-dispatch-perl 2.11-1 Dispatches messages to multiple Lo ii libmailtools-perl 1.74-1 Manipulate email in perl programs ii libmime-perl 5.420-0.1 Perl5 modules for MIME-compliant m ii libmldbm-perl 2.01-1 Store multidimensional hash struct ii libmodule-versions-report-pe 1.02-3 Report versions of all modules in ii libparams-validate-perl 0.77-1 validate parameters to Perl method ii libregexp-common-perl 2.120-4 Provide commonly requested regular ii libterm-readkey-perl 2.30-3 A perl module for simple terminal ii libtest-inline-perl 2.103-1 Perl extension for embed tests and ii libtext-autoformat-perl 1.13-1 Perl module for automatic text wra ii libtext-quoted-perl 1.8-3 Extract the structure of a quoted ii libtext-template-perl 1.44-1.1 Text::Template perl module ii libtext-wikiformat-perl 0.78-0.1 translates Wiki formatted text int ii libtext-wrapper-perl 1.000-2 Simple word wrapping routine ii libtime-modules-perl 2003.1126-2 Various Perl modules for time/date ii libtree-simple-perl 1.17-1 A simple tree object ii libuniversal-require-perl 0.10-1 Load modules from a variable ii libxml-rss-perl 1.05-1 Perl module for managing RSS (RDF ii libxml-simple-perl 2.14-5 Perl module for reading and writin ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii rt3.6-apache2 3.6.1-4 Apache 2 specific files for reques ii rt3.6-clients 3.6.1-4 Mail gateway and command-line inte ii sysklogd [system-log-daemon] 1.4.1-18 System Logging Daemon Versions of packages request-tracker3.6 recommends: ii mysql-server 5.0.32-7etch1 mysql database server (meta packag ii mysql-server-5.0 [mysql-se 5.0.32-7etch1 mysql database server binaries -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
