Hi, I am trying to have my debian/changelog file in utf-8, as required by standards-version 3.6.0. However, dpkg-parsechangelog seems not to bee able to parse that:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/Packages/netenv/netenv-0.94.2$ iconv -f utf-8 -t ucs-4 <debian/changelog >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo yes [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/Packages/netenv/netenv-0.94.2$ i.e. the changelog is still not in utf-8 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/Packages/netenv/netenv-0.94.2$ dpkg-parsechangelog | grep ^Maint Maintainer: Frank Küster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This is o.k. Now saved the file in utf-8 (with GNU Emacs 21.3) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/Packages/netenv/netenv-0.94.2$ iconv -f utf-8 -t ucs-4 <debian/changelog >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo yes yes So it seems it's correct, in utf-8 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/Packages/netenv/netenv-0.94.2$ dpkg-parsechangelog | grep ^Maint Maintainer: Frank Küster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/Packages/netenv/netenv-0.94.2$ dpkg -l dpkg-dev Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-=====================-=====================-========================================================== ii dpkg-dev 1.10.10 Package building tools for Debian [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/Packages/netenv/netenv-0.94.2$ I also tried LC_ALL=$somelocale dpkg-parsechangelog with somelocale in C, de_DE.UTF-8, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (these are existing on my system), but that doesn't change anything. Am I doing something wrong? Bye, Frank -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ. Basel Abt. Biophysikalische Chemie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
