Hi, I can confirm your report and have tested it in Focal (1:4.15.2-5) and Jammy (1:4.15.2-5build1) which both behave that way.
I want to thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I appreciate the quality of this bug report and I'm sure it'll be helpful to others experiencing the same issue. But this sounds like an upstream bug to me. Even the latest behaves that way and I didn#t see Ubuntu/Debian delta that seems related. You might consider verifying this by building directly from the latest upstream source? If this can be confirmed as an upstream bug, the best route to getting it fixed in Ubuntu in this case would be to file an upstream bug if you're able to do that. Seems the project wants mails (https://www.gnu.org/software/sharutils/manual/sharutils.html#shar-Bugs) so the result are likely mailing list entries. Otherwise, I'm not sure what we can do directly in Ubuntu to fix the problem. If you do end up filing an upstream bug, please link to it from here. Thanks in advance! BTW - and by that I'm not 100% sure how valid the bug is - if I omit the -T (forcing text) everything works just fine. ** Changed in: sharutils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: sharutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1952491 Title: shar fails on some UTF-8 text files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sharutils/+bug/1952491/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
