Public bug reported: Hello, the new uutils implementation of at least chmod requires pathnames to be valid UTF-8. Linux makes no such requirement and neither should our utilities. (Some filesystems offer UTF-8 validation and canonicalization as features but these are not mandatory.)
See eg https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/blob/main/src/uu/chmod/src/chmod.rs#L139 // FIXME: enable non-utf8 paths let mut files: Vec<String> = matches .get_many::<String>(options::FILE) .map(|v| v.map(ToString::to_string).collect()) .unwrap_or_default(); I'm not sure what the best resolution would be: - Using OsString - Using CString - Using some other wrapper around a vector of u8 etc. Thanks ** Affects: rust-coreutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2117527 Title: chmod requires utf-8 pathnames To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-coreutils/+bug/2117527/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
