Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: normal
When running under locale C the test does not work correctly:
michael@feivel:~$ LANG=C man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l /usr/share/man/man8/acpid.8.gz >/dev/null
col: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
michael@feivel:~$ LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l /usr/share/man/man8/acpid.8.gz >/dev/null
michael@feivel:~$
The reason seems to be that man pipes its output through col when not
displaying on a terminal and col setting the local to C which apparently does
not mean UTF-8. Therefore the unicode hyphen (e2 80 90) triggers the above
mentioned error message in col's file io.
