Package: nvi Version: 1.81.6-4 Severity: normal Tags: l10n
I dislike UTF-8 for various reasons, and always use iso8859-1 encoding. I just noticed that when I use nvi to edit a file containing non-ASCII characters and search for them (I tried å, ä and ö) nvi reports that there are no matches. For example, if the file contains 'högertå', the search /tå fails. Oddly enough, the search /t[åä] works correctly. This bug is a bit devious: it doesn't cause data corruption, but it's not an obvious bug when it happens -- you are likely to believe that there *is* no match (and act accordingly). nvi 1.79-25 in Debian 4.0 doesn't seem to have this bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26.7 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=sv_SE, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nvi depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.2 4.2.52+dfsg-5 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libncursesw5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages nvi recommends: ii nvi-doc 1.81.6-4 4.4BSD re-implementation of vi - d nvi suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
