Package: apt Version: 0.6.46.1 Severity: important Tags: patch l10n
Hi, The Japanese manpage apt(8) is found to be UTF-8-encoded[1]. Since manpages do not have encoding information, Japanese manpages under /usr/share/man/ja are all handled as EUC-JP-encoded files by the man-db program[2], and UTF-8-encoded ones cannot displayed correctly (nearly all the characters turn into garbage). I've created a patch to fix it and attach here, with the severity "important" since manpages are important resources for users. For more information, see my report #391061 for the aptitude package.
