Bug#307064: mc: still having problems with german umlauts in newest version
Package: mc Version: 1:4.6.1-1 Followup-For: Bug #307064 Hi, i read this bugreport and tried the newest version hoping that the problems with utf-8 are finally gone. In my case they aren't. If there are german umlauts in a filename, they crash the layout in its line. I recognised that mc depends on libslang2. As I read about that slang stuff, libslang1-utf8 came into my mind. Is utf8 support included in libslang2? regards -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mc depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-1GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.6-1The GLib library of C routines ii libgpmg1 1.19.6-22 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libslang2 2.0.5-3The S-Lang programming library - r mc recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Is utf8 support included in libslang2? It is, but if the packager didn't make changes to mc, it won't be used. (Just watching the discussion, I don't have the impression that was done). -- Thomas E.

Hello, If you reread the bug report, you'll find than an UTF-8 compliant mc is in 'experimental' (mc_4.6.1-1exp1_i386.deb). If no major bugs are found, it will be uploaded to unstable :-) Cheers, -- Ludovic Drolez. http://www.palmopensource.com - The PalmOS Open Source Portal http://www.drolez.com - Personal site - Linux and PalmOS stuff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If no major bugs are found, it will be uploaded to unstable :-) Shame on me... I read it but totally ignored the exp1 in filname so I thought I still had the fixed verion installed... I did so _now_ and *surprise*, it works. :) Nice ! You're the 1st to report success with this new utf-8 release. I hope that more people will do this too, and then I'll upload mc to unstable !
