Package: moodle
Version: 1.4.4.dfsg.1-3sarge1
Severity: important
After today's security upgrade, Moodle pages contained an http-equiv header
saying, incorrectly, that the pages were in iso-8859-1. This made the
site entirely unusable on browsers that aren't set to guess the encoding
themselves (at least with the language packs we use, which are in utf-8).
I finally found a solution in the code: /usr/share/moodle/lib/weblib.php,
in a stretch of code starting with "if (!empty($CFG->unicode)) {".
This is the only mention of a "unicode" setting anywhere in the package,
but setting this variable to 'true' in /etc/moodle/config.php solved the
problem.

Hi Jeroen,
Regarding the bug you filed against the Moodle package:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=361771
I believe that this problem should be fixed by upgrading to
moodle version 1.8 or later where moodle has been converted
to support unicode across the whole platform.
Feel free to reopen this bug if you are still having problems.
thanks
Dan
