Bug#466340: Some conversions to ISO-2022-JP produce invalid text
Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-6
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/iconv
Converting the following UTF8 sequence to ISO-2022-JP//TRANSLIT, then
back to UTF-8 fails:
$ perl -e 'print join("", map { chr hex $_ } qw/e3 83 a2 ef bd 9e 0a/)' | \
iconv -f utf8 -t iso-2022-jp//TRANSLIT|iconv -f iso-2022-jp -t utf8
モiconv: illegal input sequence at position 5
Either iconv has generated invalid ISO-2022-JP, or it refuses to accept
valid ISO-2022-JP.
