Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.1-9 Severity: wishlist I could not find easy command to check text file encoding consistency, UTF-8 vs. ISO-8859-1.
Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> suggested using iconv.: $ iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-8 somefile &>/dev/null $ echo $? I wish iconv have a easy "-c", "--check-code" option to do the same with: $ iconv -c UTF-8 somefile $ echo $? "file" command will not catch 1 wrong byte in a big file :) Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii libc6 2.3.1-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cupertino CA USA, GPG-key: A8061F32 .''`.
