Hi there, My OpenLDAP 2.2 packages have a problem if the user enters something using his locale specific character (like äöü) into the organization field which is queried using debconf cf. http://bugs.debian.org/236097 The LDIF RFC demands that character data is either in 7 bit ASCII or in UTF-8 (and base64 encoded, uargh). No I wonder how to convert the data that I get from debconf to UTF-8. It is save to assume that the data from debconf is in the charset of the current locale? Then foo=`echo $RET|iconv -t UTF8` after the db_get would suffice. Of course the locale could change between config and postinst so maybe I should convert to UTF-8 and store the result in the debconf db in the config script? Open to any suggestions. Torsten
