Package: libc6 Version: 2.7-6 Severity: important
a valid windows-1255 string is translated to utf-8 by droping it's last char. it happens only if that last char is non-ascii itself. for example, "\xe1\xe2\xe3". it translates to a 2 characters long string. it doesn't happen with other windows-* codepages, neither with the similar iso-8859-8 equivalent. this is probably an upstream bug, but i report it here not to polute the upstream mailing list with not generally attending people. but i know debian maintainers are there :) . best regards, alex -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libgcc1 1:4.3-20080116-1 GCC support library libc6 recommends no packages. -- debconf information: glibc/restart-failed: glibc/restart-services: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
