Package: libtk-pod-perl Version: 0.9932-5 Severity: minor It seems that the debian version includes a patch to Pod/Text.pm, which changes the umlauts there to some nroff (?) notation, e.g.
-=item auml: E<auml> รค, +=item auml: E<auml> \[:a], I don't see what the purpose of this change. tkpod may display the original Pod correctly. My version of perldoc changes the umlaut to ae in the original version; with the change "\[:a]" is displayed literally. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-486 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libtk-pod-perl depends on: ii libpod-simple-perl 3.04-1 Perl framework for parsing files i ii libtext-english-perl 1.502-2 Use Porter Stemming algorithm with ii libtk-histentry-perl 0.43-1 Implements an entry widget with hi ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-doc 5.8.8-7 Perl documentation ii perl-tk 1:804.027-7 Perl module providing the Tk graph libtk-pod-perl recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
