Package: cowsay Version: 3.03-9 Followup-For: Bug #254557
I noticed, that the lenght of the message is calculated erroneously if the message contains two-byte symbols from UTF-8 encoding. This leads, in particular, to broken balloons for such strings. For example: $ cowsay Hello, world ______________ < Hello, world > -------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || || $ cowsay 'Привет, мир!' _______________________ < Привет, мир! > ----------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || || -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cowsay depends on: ii perl 5.8.8-11.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction cowsay recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
