Sorry guys, but debconf definitely works very well in ISO-8859 environments. The fact that translated templates are stored in UTF-8 in /var/lib/dpkg/info/*templates has nothing to do here and is perfectly normal. This is how debconf is supposed to work from the beginning....and that does not prevent it to use correct ISO when you use an ISO environment. > > Otherwise, you will be always penalising some users (my default locale is > > currently *not* UTF-8 and neither it will be for those that have not > > installed sarge but a previous release and upgraded from there). > > > > Who files the (wishlist) bug? :-) > > Please go ahead, you're the one most familiar with Debian's ways. Please triple check before filing bugs to debconf. I really feel like you're hunting a ghost here..:-)
