Doing iconv --from-code=ASCII --to-code=UTF-8 debian/copyright produces this error on my machine: "iconv: illegal input sequence at position 216". This is roughly at the spot where the Swedish letters begin. Transiliterating the Swedish to English, then doing iconv works however, and this is what is in the latest .deb. (-3)
Since your original file includes swedish letters, it is not in ASCII but in whatever encoding your used to type them. If you used for example ISO_8859-1, then you should convert by:
iconv --from-code=ISO_8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 debian/copyright See 'iconv -l' for list of known character sets. regards, Dimitar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
