Package: nvi Version: 1.81.6-8.1 Severity: normal
When nvi is built with debian patch 27support_C_locale.dpatch included, the command history doesn't work: :set cedit=^P :%s/a/a :^P shows :^@^@^@s^@^@^@e^@^@^@t^@^@^@^@^@^@c^@^@^@e^@^@^@d^@^@^@i^@^@^@t^@^@^@=^@^@^@^P^@^@^@ :^@^@^@%^@^@^@s^@^@^@/^@^@^@a^@^@^@/^@^@^@a^@^@^@ instead of :set cedit=^P :%s/a/a The patch reads ## 27support_C_locale.dpatch by <he...@pool.math.tu-berlin.de> ## ## DP: Allow users to edit 8-bit files even under LC_CTYPE=C. Don't know exactly what its purpose was (I believe there are other ways to edit 8-bit characters in nvi, in the C locale), but it's harmful.
