I don't think this has anything to do with xterm-faq, it's just that this is the last file in alphabetical order. If I move the file away I get the same failure -- it chokes on xterm-ctlseqs then. > Could you please try `file -i /var/lib/doc-base/documents/xterm-faq' > as well and open the file in a pager/editor to see if it's the same > on your machine? Yes, it's the same: $ file -i /var/lib/doc-base/documents/xterm-faq /var/lib/doc-base/documents/xterm-faq: text/plain; charset=us-ascii $ md5sum /usr/share/doc-base/xterm-faq 4f81e4dd965c918abc250beeb54131fb /usr/share/doc-base/xterm-faq Too bad I don't know Ruby and I'm completely clueless. It seems that there are two different problems -- Santiago's failure that he posted on the bug log is at dhelp.rb:185 while mine is at debian.rb:914 (which is why I suggested it might be a ruby-debian issue). If you and Daniel have reproduced and fixed Santiago's bug it is not surprising that the NMU does not address the bug I am observing. (At least that is how I explain the mystery for the time being, with my limited knowledge.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
