Hmm; maybe something like: <para>Apply the following patch to fix an assertion failure when opening two conversion descriptors with the same tocode and fromcode parameters (see the iconv_open man page):</para> >From the bug, the issue is an invalid assertion test; the patch fixes the assertion. The code actually works; only the assertion is broken. (This is a bit like the glibc assertion failure when the linux-gate.so.1 virtual syscall DSO was added; in that case, the only thing that was broken was the assertion test, not the state of glibc. Same here.) In addition, I think "with the same tocode and fromcode parameters" is probably enough to tell the user what's going on in the failure case. And the manpage reference is there for a bit more info, if the user wants to read it.
