Public bug reported: In mc (midnight commander) i've found that i can't open archives in folder named 'Рабочий стол' (this means 'Desktop' in russian). After some researching i've found that problem in /bin/sh (dash) - it can't redirect input or output from files that contains russian letter 'с'.
Steps to reproduce: $ /bin/dash $ echo 'с' | hexdump 0000000 81d1 000a 0000003 $ mkdir /tmp/с $ touch /tmp/с/a.txt $ echo ok > /tmp/с/a.txt /bin/dash: cannot create /tmp/�/a.txt: Directory nonexistent $ tail < /tmp/с/a.txt /bin/dash: cannot open /tmp/�/a.txt: No such file Expected result (example of bash session): $ echo 'с' | hexdump 0000000 81d1 000a 0000003 $ mkdir /tmp/с $ touch /tmp/с/a.txt $ echo ok > /tmp/с/a.txt $ tail < /tmp/с/a.txt ok ** Affects: dash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Incorrect handling UTF-8 symbol 'с' (U+0441) in redirection operator https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
