Package: bsdmainutils Version: 8.0.1 Severity: serious Since today I gets lots of lintian warnings (manpage-has-errors-from-man) on my dpkg builds because col fails with: col: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
You can reproduce it by doing this: LANG=C man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l /usr/share/man/man8/update-alternatives.8.gz >/dev/null I don't know if it's col's fault or if it's man-db that does not use col properly but since col changed recently (and not man-db), I filed the bug against col. Note that dropping LANG=C makes the warning go away so it's most certainly locale related. Using any other locale seems to work, even one that is not UTF-8. Severity serious to avoid propagation to testing until we know more on the nature of the problem.
