Package: dict-freedict-deu-eng
Version: 1.3-4
Severity: normal
Steps to reproduce:
1) dict notruf
2) echo foo
Expected results:
2) foo is printed to screen
Actual results:
2) nothing is printed to screen
More info:
1) It seems that the description of the word contains non-printable
characters that confuse my terminal emulator (xterm):

2) The problematic character seems to be 0x90. If I remove it I can
see the description properly:
lindi1:~$ dict notruf | sed $'s/\x90//g'
1 definition found
>From German-English Freedict dictionary [fd-deu-eng]:
Notruf [noËtruËf] (n) , s.(m )
emergency call
lindi1:~$ echo foo
foo
3) The output is not UTF-8 either since
$ dict notruf | recode utf-8..latin1
1 definition found
>From German-English Freedict dictionary [fd-deu-eng]:
Notruf [norecode: Invalid input in step `UTF-8..ISO-8859-1'
