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. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (400, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libgcc1 1:4.2.1-4 GCC support library libc6 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information

Package: glibc Version: 2.9-1 This seems to be the same as upstream bug #5903[1], which has been fixed in glibc 2.9. Currently I don't have glibc 2.9 at hand, but I have verified that "iconv foo -o foo" works as desired in Debian 6 and later. 1. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5903
