Package: libspiffy-perl Version: 0.29-1 Severity: minor The following manpage in your package appears to be UTF-8 encoded:
/usr/share/man/man3/Spiffy.3pm.gz According to Colin Watson, "With some exceptions for Far Eastern languages, manual pages should not at present be encoded using UTF-8. As such, it's reasonable to file bugs against packages attempting to use UTF-8 where it is not yet supported." Hence I'm filing this bug. The solution for now seems to be to encode the pages as 7-bit ASCII, using the appropriate *roff sequences to produce accented characters. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libspiffy-perl depends on: ii libfilter-perl 1.31-1 Perl source filters ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [libscalar-list-uti 5.8.8-7 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis libspiffy-perl recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
