Package: whois
Version: 5.3.1
Severity: normal

Hi,
I was made aware that .cl changed its format to UTF-8.
So without a change you'll get

$ whois www.domain.cl

Invalid domain name: www.domain.cl

%%
%% Check you are using UTF-8 encoding for IDN domain names.
%% The list of allowed IDN names in .CL is
https://www.nic.cl/normativa/CL-IDN-policy.html
%%
%% This Registry database contains ONLY .CL domains.
%%


A patch was suggested to Ubuntu, but since it affects you just as much I
wanted to share that here
