** Description changed: Binary package hint: whois Hi, The whois client has a new feature(partially bug) (since Ubuntu 10.04), which converts domain names with special characters to the so called ace format (müller.de --> xn--mller-kva.de) The DENIC whois servers only accept domain ace's when the parameter "-T ace" (only in combination: "-T dn,ace" or "-T dn,st"). So, now when asking for the domain name "müller.de" you get the message that that domain name is valid, even if its registered. As I could figure out, this problem is part of the whois since version 4.7. I'd recommend turning off that idn2ace conversion to solve the problem.. + I've already tested to disable the conversion by commenting out line + 1010,1011 and 1026,1027 + + 1010: if (idna_to_ascii_lz(domain_start, &q, 0) != IDNA_SUCCESS) + 1011: return ret; + + 1026: if (idna_to_ascii_lz(ret, &q, 0) != IDNA_SUCCESS) + 1027: return ret; + whois: - Installiert: 5.0.0ubuntu3 - Kandidat: 5.0.0ubuntu3 - Versions-Tabelle: - *** 5.0.0ubuntu3 0 - 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installiert: 5.0.0ubuntu3 + Kandidat: 5.0.0ubuntu3 + Versions-Tabelle: + *** 5.0.0ubuntu3 0 + 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
