Package: lookup Version: 1.08b-11 Severity: minor While the manual page for lookup(1) is written in English and goes into generic directory rather than one for specific locale, it contains examples of Japanese and it is encoded in EUC-JP. But dh_installman guesses it to be Latin-1 instead, and tries to convert it to DPM-mandated UTF-8. This results in illegible gibberish in the binary package.
The page, as installed, can be displayed correctly like this: $ zcat $(man -w 1 lookup)|iconv -futf8 -tl1|iconv -feucjp|man -l - Please fix it by either converting it to UTF-8 before dh_installman or by adding appropriate coding marker atop of it to help manconv in making its guesses correct (but note that soelim puts .lf on the first line). -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages lookup depends on: ii libc6 2.22-11 lookup recommends no packages.
