- Subject: [col] improperly fails with Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character

Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 8.0.1
Severity: serious
Since today I gets lots of lintian warnings (manpage-has-errors-from-man)
on my dpkg builds because col fails with:
col: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
You can reproduce it by doing this:
LANG=C man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l /usr/share/man/man8/update-alternatives.8.gz >/dev/null
I don't know if it's col's fault or if it's man-db that does not use col
properly but since col changed recently (and not man-db), I filed the bug
against col. Note that dropping LANG=C makes the warning go away so it's
most certainly locale related. Using any other locale seems to work, even
one that is not UTF-8.
Severity serious to avoid propagation to testing until we know more on the
nature of the problem.
Cheers,
