Package: manpages Version: 3.21-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch I've attached a patch to utf-8.7. It clarifies that 0xc0 and 0xc1 are not valid in any UTF-8 encoding[0], and it also references RFC 3629 instead of RFC 2279.
[0] In order to have 0xc0, you'd have to have a two-byte encoding with all the data bits zero in the first byte (and thus only six bits of data), which would be an ASCII character encoded in the non-shortest form. Similarly with 0xc1. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-rc3-amd64 (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/dash manpages depends on no packages. manpages recommends no packages.
