Bug#814429: geneweb: debian/mktemplates may fail due to grep binary matching: iconv: conversion from `Binary' is not supported
Package: geneweb Version: 6.08dfsg-3.1 Severity: serious Tags: patch Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past) Build fails with iconv: conversion from `Binary' is not supported on ca language file. The problem is that grep matches the file as binary, and outputs "Binary file matches", which gets (mis)parsed and screw up iconv params. Probably dependent on the version of grep, and the phase of the moon possibly. :-) This should fix it anyway: --- debian/mktemplates 2016-02-11 14:00:53.103700366 + +++ debian/mktemplates~ 2016-02-11 13:59:01.0 + @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ sed '/^\"Content-Type/s/CHARSET/UTF-8/' \ > debian/pobuild/$pofilename.temp - pocharset=`grep -ai charset $pofile|cut -f2 -d=| sed 's/n\\"//g'` + pocharset=`grep -i charset $pofile|cut -f2 -d=| sed 's/n\\"//g'` cat $pofile | \ iconv --from $pocharset --to utf-8 | \ sed "s/$pocharset/UTF-8/g" \

This ca.po file is weird. It has something strange which I can't catch in its first line, which explains why grep thinks it's binary data, I guess. Anyway, building the package right now. It's quite some time since I did so, so I hope that nothing else weird happens..:-) signature.asc Description: PGP signature
