Package: libgettext-ruby1.9 Version: 1.93.0-1 Severity: serious Justification: renders package unusable Blocks: 432200 Tags: patch
I'm working on developing a new version of apt-listbugs that works
with ruby1.9.
Currently I've got everything resolved, except for this error:
bash jade master apt-listbugs $ ruby1.9 ./apt-listbugs
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/gettext/mo.rb:18:in `require':
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/gettext/iconv.rb:102: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)
(SyntaxError)
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/gettext/iconv.rb:102: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/gettext/iconv.rb:102: syntax error, unexpected $end,
expecting ')'
puts Iconv.iconv("EUC-JP", "UTF-8", "ほげ").join
^
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/gettext/mo.rb:18:in `<top (required)>'

from ./apt-listbugs:240:in `<main>'
bash jade master apt-listbugs $
This is caused by a bug in /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.0/gettext/iconv.rb
Ruby1.9 is trying to parse it as ASCII, however it contains UTF-8
characters. to tell ruby1.9 to parse it as utf-8, add this comment to
the file "# coding: utf-8". After adding this to the beginning, it
parses just fine, and apt-listbugs starts just fine (but fails later
for other reasons, unrelated to gettext..).
attached is a patch, please upload the fix for this bug.
