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.
This may be related to bug #231461
Thanks
Ian

See /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ISO-8859-1.gz:

This is normal behavior because UTF-8 is composed of the definite
rule. Please investigate about UTF-8.

I don't think so.
I close this bug.
