Bug#439720: libc6: iconv -o clobbers input file, unlike sort -o

[Eric Cooper <ecc@cmu.edu>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.6.1-1+b1
Severity: normal

The whole point of the -o option, it seems to me, is to allow
    iconv foo -o foo 
to work correctly, the way it does for sort(1).
Otherwise,
    iconv foo > bar
would be sufficient.
