• Bug#1067704: aptitude manual displayed in iso-8859-1 instead of utf-8 i

    From H.-R. Oberhage@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 25 20:50:02 2024
    Package: aptitude
    Version: 0.8.13-6

    Hello, contrary to the message in NEWS:

    [2018-07-29]
    Version 0.8.11
    [...]
    - Documentation:

    * Change en/README_encoding to use utf-8 as all the other languages,
    instead
    of iso-8859-1

    this problem is not solved.
    Within aptitude in tab "Help -> User's Manual" the manual is not(!)
    shown in utf-8, but (most likely) iso-8859-1.
    The culprit part seems to be the file src/ui.cc in function

    do_help_readme()

    in lines 1184 and especially 1190, where "ISO_8859-1" should by replaced
    by "UTF-8".

    I'm a big fan of aptitude, so all the best!
    Thanks.
