Package: ruby-gettext Version: 3.1.6-1 Severity: normal Hello! As discussed on bug #799050 [1] and on debian-ruby@l.d.o [2], I've found a weird behavior of ruby-gettext.
[1] https://bugs.debian.org/799050#22 [2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2015/09/msg00042.html Steps to reproduce (with apt-listbugs/0.1.17 installed) $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US:en LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= $ ruby -e 'require "gettext" ; GetText::bindtextdomain("apt-listbugs") ; puts GetText.gettext("Forwarded")' Forwarded $ LANGUAGE='fr' ruby -e 'require "gettext" ; GetText::bindtextdomain("apt-listbugs") ; puts GetText.gettext("Forwarded")' Transférés $ LANGUAGE='fr' ruby -e 'require "gettext" ; GetText::bindtextdomain("apt-listbugs") ; puts GetText.gettext("Forwarded").encoding' UTF-8 Everything's fine so far. $ LANGUAGE='fr' LC_CTYPE='C' ruby -e 'require "gettext" ; GetText::bindtextdomain("apt-listbugs") ; puts GetText.gettext("Forwarded").encoding' ASCII-8BIT Here the encoding is wrong and the content of the returned string includes rubbish characters: $ LANGUAGE='fr' LC_CTYPE='C' irb irb(main):001:0> require "gettext" => true irb(main):002:0> GetText::bindtextdomain("apt-listbugs") [...] irb(main):003:0> GetText.gettext("Forwarded") => "Transf\xC3\xA9r\xC3\xA9s" irb(main):004:0> exit The awkward finding is that, if I print the string, it gets magically converted back to UTF-8: $ LANGUAGE='fr' LC_CTYPE='C' ruby -e 'require "gettext" ; GetText::bindtextdomain("apt-listbugs") ; puts GetText.gettext("Forwarded")' Transférés But I cannot compute the width of the string with ruby-unicode: $ LANGUAGE='fr' LC_CTYPE='C' ruby -e 'require "gettext" ; GetText::bindtextdomain("apt-listbugs") ; require "unicode" ; puts Unicode.width(GetText.gettext("Forwarded"))' -e:1:in `width': "\xC3" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 (Encoding::UndefinedConversionError) from -e:1:in `<main>' What's wrong?
