How can I avoid this error?
Hi,
debian package changelogs are encoded in Unicode, where every character
with an ASCII value > 128 is represented as two bytes. To properly read
such files, invoke a terminal emulator in Unicode mode - e.g. xterm
has a
wrapper script "uxterm" which does just that, provided you have
configured
at least one UTF locale ('locale -a' shows all configured locales, and
'dpkg-reconfigure locales' will let you re-choose).
1) which terminal emulator does apt-listchanges use by default? man
apt-listchanges says that it uses $PAGER by default. But I do not have
$PAGER set, so I wonder which terminal emulator it is using.
2) How do I know whether my locales are UTF compatible?
I have
kusumanchi% locale -a
C
POSIX
Are they UTF compatible? or do I need to install new locales?
You have only one locale (with two names), and that is the only one
which cant be removed. You should install the locales package and
generate some locales. The encoding (ie UTF-8) follows the locale name
in the list. Currently I have the en_US and en_US.UTF-8 locales generated.
HTH,
Michael Spang
