Package: bsd-mailx Version: 8.1.2-0.20081101cvs-2 Severity: normal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Come on! This bug has been open since 2003. Meanwhile, practically everything in Debian has migrated to either using UTF-8 by default or acquired abilties to detect character-set and set MIME headers. It so happens that several Release Goals in Debian relate to UTF-8 adoption. Most of those goals were already achieved in previous Debian releases. As such, this broken mailx implementation has become completely unacceptable. Fixing it would require parsing LC_CTYPE and using the character-set it returns to build the MIME headers used to produce the e-mail message. - -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-020630-generic (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bsd-mailx depends on: ii base-files 5.0.0 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii liblockfile1 1.08-3 NFS-safe locking library, includes ii nullmailer [mail-transport-ag 1:1.04-1.1 simple relay-only mail transport a bsd-mailx recommends no packages. bsd-mailx suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkqdHpIACgkQeXr56x4Muc31DgCgjkjiBxMrFlA5AVOxO/WPJXoP wvgAn3jX6oEbEd5thO/ZxXrEIhc/DI1b =8FaF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
