Bug#555320: checks manpages with -E UTF-8, but does not inform about this
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: minor
Hi,
I was just checking one of my packages and got the following warning:
W: thinkfan: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/thinkfan.1.gz
Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
N:
N:This man page provokes warnings or errors from man.
N:To test this for yourself you can use the following command:
N: LANG=C MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings -l manpage-file /dev/null
Running the command showed exactly zero warnings from man.
Looking at /usr/share/lintian/checks/manpages, it reads:
my $cmd;
if ($file =~ m,^(.*)/(man\d/.*)$,) {
$cmd = cd unpacked/\Q$1\E man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l \Q$2\E;
} else {
$cmd = man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l unpacked/\Q$file\E;
}
(and it sets LANG to C some lines later)
so either the description misses -E UTF-8, or the check is wrong :)
You should know better what is meant here, I'm far from a man expert.
Thanks for your work
Evgeni

Bug#555331: [col] improperly fails with Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
Package: bsdmainutils Version: 8.0.1 Severity: serious Since today I gets lots of lintian warnings (manpage-has-errors-from-man) on my dpkg builds because col fails with: col: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character You can reproduce it by doing this: LANG=C man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l /usr/share/man/man8/update-alternatives.8.gz /dev/null I don't know if it's col's fault or if it's man-db that does not use col properly but since col changed recently (and not man-db), I filed the bug against col. Note that dropping LANG=C makes the warning go away so it's most certainly locale related. Using any other locale seems to work, even one that is not UTF-8.

We're intentionally using LANG=C to avoid localisation issues with the output; obviously we can't assume that random Lintian users have any of the en_* locales installed so we can't force one of those either. Colin Watson added the explicit UTF-8 encoding to avoid recoding localised manpages to ASCII and producing bogus warnings in the process; as he has both man-db and lintian hats I'm hoping he might have a cunning idea as to how to fix this.

Severity serious to avoid propagation to testing until we know more on the nature of the problem. This bug is somewhere in the intersection of bsdmainutils, man-db, lintian, and locales. Have fun. :-) The proximate cause is that man uses -Tutf8 and thus outputs UTF-8 hyphens even under LANG=C (compare #547695), and that confuses col now that it knows about the encoding of its input data. However, the upstream patch referred to in #547695 is not sufficient here. lintian uses the '-E UTF-8' option, which forces man to use UTF-8, overriding the default. This used to work fine when col was dumb; now that it's smart, things are a bit more problematic. The reason that lintian does this is that it needs to force UTF-8 output somehow or else CJK manual pages tend not to work properly, but there is no UTF-8 locale that's guaranteed to be available on all systems. In the short term, I think the best approach would be for man to set LC_CTYPE to some appropriate locale that matches the encoding requested by -E while running col. I'll see if I can arrange for this. However, such a locale is not actually guaranteed to exist. Perhaps lintian needs to generate a UTF-8 locale if it can't find one otherwise, a bit like the hack in installation-locale; or perhaps we should just make sure that there's always a C.UTF-8 locale on the system, which could be used to get UTF-8 character type semantics without implying a particular language or country. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
