Package: libxinerama-dev Version: 1:1.0.2-1 Severity: minor The following manpages in your package appear to be UTF-8 encoded: /usr/share/man/man3/Xinerama.3.gz According to Colin Watson, "With some exceptions for Far Eastern languages, manual pages should not at present be encoded using UTF-8. As such, it's reasonable to file bugs against packages attempting to use UTF-8 where it is not yet supported." Hence I'm filing this bug. The solution for now seems to be to encode the pages as 7-bit ASCII, using the appropriate *roff sequences to produce accented characters. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libxinerama-dev depends on: ii libx11-dev 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library (developme ii libxext-dev 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extensions libra ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii x11-common 1:7.2-5 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii x11proto-xinerama-dev 1.1.2-4 X11 Xinerama extension wire protoc libxinerama-dev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
