Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-9
Severity: normal
Well, '-c' option of iconv(1) is not ignored completely, but it works
only once:
bash$ iconv -f cp1251 -t koi8-r <somefile >/dev/null
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 11084
bash$ iconv -c -f cp1251 -t koi8-r <somefile >/dev/null
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 16320
bash$
It is easy to see that only the first invalid character is omitted.
I think, it should not be so (and it was not so with older libc).
If this behaviour is desirable for you, there should be another option
to omit all invalid characters.
Thank you,
Alexandra.
