Bug#916796: IEEEfull.bib: cannot be read in encoding 'utf8' by biber
Package: texlive-publishers
Version: 2018.20181214-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The file /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/bibtex/bib/IEEEtran/IEEEfull.bib contains a symbol
`á' in ISO-8859-1 8bit charset:
line 23, see `Nicolás Barabino' name.
This character breakes biblatex+biber.
Recoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 charset fixes the issue.
Below is scenario and input file.
$ pdflatex test
...
$ biber test
INFO - This is Biber 2.12
INFO - Logfile is 'test.blg'
INFO - Reading 'test.bcf'
