Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-12 Severity: normal Based on iso_8859-1(7) and ascii(7) it looks to me like \200 (octal) is not a valid character. However, iconv doesn't complain about converting it whereas it does complain about converting illegal utf8:
$ /bin/echo -e '\200' | iconv -f iso_8859-1 -t utf8 > /dev/null; echo $? 0 $ /bin/echo -e '\200' | iconv -f utf8 -t utf8 > /dev/null; echo $? iconv: illegal input sequence at position 0 1 $ I think it should consistently complain.
