Bug#779885: info: Does not display a info-file from the start, if it contains (some) multibyte characters
Package: info
Version: 5.2.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Issuing command "info coreutils".
* What was the outcome of this action?
Output from "info coreutils" begins with chapter 2.14.
Output from "info wdiff" begins with chapter 2.1.
Display is normal, if the info-files have been transformed to latin-1 (8
bit single byte) encoding before they are used.
Using "info coreutils | iconv -f utf-8 -t latin1//TRANSLIT" does only
show chapter 2.14.
"info wdiff | iconv -f utf-8 -t latin1//TRANSLIT" does only show
chapter 2.1.
