Package: groff Version: 1.18.1.1-12 Severity: normal
The groff package ships an nroff wrapper that tries to detect the correct value for the -T option. This script should treat a ISO-8859-15 charmap the same way as ISO-8859-1. Note that ISO-8859-15 is supposed to replace ISO-8859-1. The only difference is that it defines a character Code für the EURO currency symbol. Hence I propose the following patch: --- /usr/bin/nroff 2006-04-17 14:11:28.000000000 +0200 +++ - 2007-08-03 11:22:01.069054000 +0200 @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ case "`locale charmap 2>/dev/null`" in UTF-8) T=-Tutf8 ;; - ISO-8859-1) + ISO-8859-1 | ISO-8859-15) T=-Tlatin1 ;; IBM-1047) T=-Tcp1047 ;; @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ case "${LC_ALL-${LC_CTYPE-${LANG}}}" in *.UTF-8) T=-Tutf8 ;; - iso_8859_1 | *.ISO-8859-1) + iso_8859_1 | *.ISO-8859-1 | iso_8859_15 | *.ISO-8859-15 ) T=-Tlatin1 ;; *.IBM-1047) T=-Tcp1047 ;; -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-xen-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages groff depends on: ii groff-base 1.18.1.1-12 GNU troff text-formatting system ( ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 1:1.0.2-4 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmu6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.5-2 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library Versions of packages groff recommends: ii gs-gpl [gs] 8.54.dfsg.1-5 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript int ii imagemagick 7:6.2.4.5.dfsg1-0.14 Image manipulation programs ii libpaper1 1.1.21 Library for handling paper charact pn netpbm <none> (no description available) ii psutils 1.17-24 A collection of PostScript documen -- no debconf information
