Package: nvi Version: 1.81.6-3 When I edit /var/lib/dpkg/status using nvi and then search for a string (or page down a few times), I get: "Conversion error on line 428" I then can't 428G, but 427G reveals:
Package: libgammu3 Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: libs Installed-size: 1028 ~ Architecture: i386 Source: gammu (line 428 is the ~). Using a different vi, this line appears as: Maintainer: Michal \304\214iha\305\231 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Other lines with the same Maintainer are similarly garbled, and attempting to write the file out to some other filename truncates it to 427 lines. This seems to hold for any line that contains a character with the top bit set. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
