Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dash
dash can not open files for input <redirection if the file names contain the
character "с" (code U+0438, a Cyrillic small letter).
Many other Cyrillic characters seem unaffected.
Since dash is used for /bin/sh, this problem may break any /bin/sh
scripts which may encounter Cyrillic characters in file names.
DEMO SCRIPT:
#!/bin/dash
file="Леб и Вино (2005) Македонски Пески (flac).m3u"
ls -ld "$file"
while read line ; do
echo "GOT $line"
done < "$file"
RESULTS:
The ls command output is correct, so the filename is not corrupted immediately.
However the shell barfs trying to redirect stdin for the while loop; dash
prints the error:
"cannot open Леб и Вино (2005) Македон�ки Пе�ки (flac).m3u: No such file"
Note that in the error message, the 'с' characters are replaced by
something which, in my system at least, displays as a black diamond with
a question mark (�).
