Maybe but it's a non-default configuration hence this bug is by no means "very important". Switch locale to UTF-8 and use something like convmv to convert filenames. Or, since this appears to be a xine backend problem, you might as well switch Phonon backend to gstreamer or vlc. Or upgrade to testing. > >Personally I'm not interested.

What I call squeeze-proper is official squeeze release (stable). There is also squeeze-backports. > you say that 4.4.3 will never go into the squeeze package ? Yes. Never. > you say that you would accept a patch ? That could be an option if the bug was important enough. However, as long as you do all the work including extracting the patch & testing it, I might consider *trying* (that does not mean succeeding) to push it to the next stable revision. -- Modestas Vainius <modax@debian.org>
