Bug#968260: libc6: breaks translations when changing the charset to ...//TRANSLIT
Package: libc6
Version: 2.31-3
Severity: important
Since the upgrade to 2.31-3, the translations are no longer working
in Mutt.
In my config, the charset gets automatically set to UTF-8//TRANSLIT
(possibly with something else instead of UTF-8). There is the same
issue with ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT, but not with UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1.
Reverting to 2.31-2 solves the issue (at least with UTF-8//TRANSLIT).
I can reproduce the issue with:
LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR /usr/bin/mutt -F muttrc foo
where the muttrc file contains:
set charset=UTF-8//TRANSLIT
or
set charset=ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT
I get "To: foo@..." instead of "À : foo@...".
