--- Begin Message ---Package: libc6-i686 Version: 2.7-13 Severity: normal Hello, It seems my machine can't make up its mind as to what charset is being used. Most things seem convinced that it is UTF-8: $ grep -v ^# /etc/locale.gen | grep -v ^$ en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 $ grep -v ^# /etc/default/locale | grep -v ^$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= $ locale charmap UTF-8 $ localedef --list-archive en_US.utf8 However, nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns ANSI_X3.4-1968: $ cat test.c #include <stdio.h> #include <langinfo.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("%s\n", nl_langinfo(CODESET)); return 0; } $ gcc test.c -o test $ ./test ANSI_X3.4-1968 Why would nl_langinfo() be different than everything else and how can I fix this? Note that the manpage specifies that it should return the same string as `locale charmap` -- that is obviously not the case here.

On startup of the main program, the portable "C" locale is selected as default. If you want to select the locale from the environment, you should call setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); at the beginning of the program. -- .''`.
