So l discovered. Thanks for all of you alerting me. At least I
know someone is listening. And responding :-))
My point in the bug submission, however, was that the menu line
item is either (a) confusing, or (b) wrong.
Based on the text "many drivers ..." I expected to be presented
with the opportunity to install filesystem drivers of some sort or
another, not codepages.
Perhaps there ought to be _two_ menu line items, one for installing
exotic filesystem drivers, the other for installing code pages.
Please excuse my muddying the issue by referrng to a particular
filesystem which just happens to be come already installed. That
was not the issue at all.
I'm also replying with this by bcc to 149281@bugs.debian.org which
also responded to the submission. Sorry, but I'm using an old
version of KMail which can't handle more than two in-the-clear
addressees.
