Re: 32-bit rar archiver with libc6-i386 cannot convert filenames to utf8

Can this cause a trouble I am facing? Running GCONV_PATH=/usr/lib32/gconv rar whatever-arguments solves the problem. But now I wonder why GCONV_PATH is not set up automatically to the correct value (i.e., to "/usr/lib32/gconv" instead of "/usr/lib/gconv") for 32-bit programs. Should not 32-bit subsystem take care of the variable GCONV_PATH ? Does that mean a bug in the package libc6-i386 ?

Perhaps it's looking for the gconv modules in the wrong place. (You
can confirm this via strace.)
Under strace I've found out that rar is accessing /usr/lib/gconv/KOI8-R.so:
open("/usr/lib/gconv/KOI8-R.so", O_RDONLY) = 4
but its format:
$ file /usr/lib/gconv/KOI8-R.so
/usr/lib/gconv/KOI8-R.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64,
version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.1, stripped
may inappropriate for a 32-bit program (which rar is).
Can this cause a trouble I am facing?
If so, how can it be fixed? Should I provide (and how?) a 32-bit
version of KOI8-R.so to rar?
Thanks,
Max
