Bug#483189: manpages/docbook.xsl: LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO character is converted incorrectly
reassign 483189 man-db 2.5.5-2 retitle 483189 man-db: does not really support UTF-8 manpages severity 483189 important clone 483189 -1 reassign -1 docbook-xsl 1.73.2.dfsg.1-5 retitle -1 manpages/docbook.xsl: please add encoding declarations severity -1 wishlist thanks * Daniel Leidert daniel.leid...@wgdd.de, 2008-06-15, 20:28: The file its actually UTF-8-encoded, but man interprets it as if it was ISO-8859-1. The file itself looks perfectly here. iconv doesn't seem to be happy about the UTF-8 character itself and because of this, man output does not show the character. After some investigation and reading: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519209#51 I'm quite sure that the bug has nothing to do with iconv. What is happening here is as follows: manconv tries to convert the manpage from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1, which obviously fails; thus, it assumes the encoding is ISO-8859-1. To solve the issue: - man should support UTF-8-encoded manual pages with characters not covered by legacy encodings. - docbook stylesheet should be adding encoding declarations to the generated manpages. -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

reassign 483189 groff-base forcemerge 322760 48318 thanks On Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 06:01:26PM +0200, Jakub Wilk wrote: - man should support UTF-8-encoded manual pages with characters not covered by legacy encodings. man-db works just fine assuming that the underlying groff installation has sufficient support. I plan to upgrade Debian's groff packages to 1.20 fairly soon (I have test packaging of it available via bzr at http://bzr.debian.org/users/cjwatson/groff/experimental/), which has proper UTF-8 support and will fix this bug. I've already subjected man-db to quite extensive testing against groff 1.20 to confirm that this class of bugs vanishes with it. - docbook stylesheet should be adding encoding declarations to the generated manpages. As I noted in the comment you linked to earlier (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519209#51), that's only necessary if you're using something other than UTF-8 or the legacy encoding for the relevant language. There's no actual *problem* with adding a UTF-8 encoding declaration, but it will not help with this bug, and once this bug is fixed it will not be necessary for an encoding declaration to be present in order to take advantage of the fix. manconv already has pretty reliable heuristic detection of UTF-8; in fact, this is a large part of its purpose in life.

This could be a duplicate of #342132. PS: To avoid locale issues, you can (and I recommend it) use the suggested parameter.

Note, that not all special characters are replaced by their GROFF escape codes by default. See file:///usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/doc/manpages/man.charmap.use.subset.html, which you should use to not rely on a special character set. But I cannot find a bug.
