Public bug reported: Binary package hint: docbook2x
I have been using docbook2x-man for a while now, however recently I installed all security updates (I had a base Fiesty system before) and docbook2x-man fails to convert any refentry docbook files to man format emitting the following error: /usr/bin/iconv: illegal input sequence at position 136 Following is a list of the apt-cache show docbook2x this is reproduced with, however I think the problem resides in one of the dependencies or in docbook2x-man's usage of one of the other packages it depends upon which would have been updated. ALSO: Note the Bugs: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] line? That is apparently incorrect. I sent an email to the list and was asked nicely to file a bug report here and that the specified list is not a valid place to report bugs. bcosta$ apt-cache show docbook2x Package: docbook2x Priority: optional Section: text Installed-Size: 1236 Maintainer: Debian XML/SGML Group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.8.3-1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libxml2 (>= 2.6.11), libxslt1.1 (>= 1.1.7), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1), perl (>= 5.6.0-16), libxml-sax-expat-perl, libtext-wrapi18n-perl Recommends: docbook-xml, docbook-xsl Filename: pool/main/d/docbook2x/docbook2x_0.8.3-1_i386.deb Size: 170350 MD5sum: 1c89708b8a8c845b8b2785101744e3d8 SHA1: 6610fcbb3818c665c0f7421123d0e65cb5449a63 SHA256: dbf5c3c5e268b1931892ab6b4c548716b7cfef9990f713b93898940681abf454 Description: Converts DocBook/XML documents into man pages and TeXinfo The main tools are: * docbook2x-man: converts a DocBook/XML refentry into a manual page, with table support * docbook2x-texi: converts a DocBook/XML refentry into an info page, most usable for Emacs users .
