Package: djvulibre-plugin
Version: 3.5.20-6
Severity: minor

A recent update of my Debian testing system automatically installed
djvulibre-plugin for the first time.  Since that installation I get the
following daily annoying e-mail message from the anacron daemon

/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
manconv: iconv: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character

/etc/cron.daily/man-db runs mandb.  When I ran that in test mode I got the
following result:

mandb --test
....
manconv: iconv: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/ja/man1/nsdejavu.1.gz: whatis parse for
nsdejavu(1) failed
....

Running manconv directly as

/usr/lib/man-db/manconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-8 /usr/share/man/ja/man1/nsdejavu.1.gz

generates the same "Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character" error
message while running the same command against other files in
/usr/share/man/ja/man1/ does not.

If I gunzip /usr/share/man/ja/man1/nsdejavu.1.gz and remove the first

..\" -*- coding: euc-jp -*-

line the error message disappears for the case when running manconv directly.

At this stage, I am not sure removing the coding line is the right thing to
do because presumably it was put in there for a reason, and there may be a
much better fix for the problem. However removing the coding line should at
least stop the annoying mails from the anacron daemon until the best fix
(if different) is worked out.
