Bug#968260: libc6: breaks translations when changing the charset to ...//TRANSLIT

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.31-3
Severity: important

Since the upgrade to 2.31-3, the translations are no longer working
in Mutt.

In my config, the charset gets automatically set to UTF-8//TRANSLIT
(possibly with something else instead of UTF-8). There is the same
issue with ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT, but not with UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1.

Reverting to 2.31-2 solves the issue (at least with UTF-8//TRANSLIT).

I can reproduce the issue with:

  LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR /usr/bin/mutt -F muttrc foo

where the muttrc file contains:

set charset=UTF-8//TRANSLIT

or

set charset=ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT

I get "To: foo@..." instead of "À : foo@...".

Bug#968252: gai.conf should mention ip addrlabel

[Marc Haber]

Package: libc-bin
Version: 2.31-3
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6

Hi,

it looks like the label values set in the gai.conf file are ignored.
Instead, the values configured in the live kernel via ip addrlabel are
used.


It might be possible that there is some magic at bootup reading gai.conf
and poking the content in the kernel, but in the running system it looks
like ip addrlabel is the way to do configuration.

This should be properly reflected in the comments inside the gai.conf
file that comes with libc-bin.

Greetings
Marc
