Package: coreutils Version: 8.21-1 Severity: important The fold command doesn't support the UTF-8 encoding. I have the file, which contains:
cat test.rst 123456789 123456789 123456789 ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé And applying fold to set the the row length to 30 chars with this result: fold -w 30 test.rst 123456789 123456789 123456789 ľščťžýáíé ľščťž �áíé ľščťžýáíé 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 ľščťžýáíé ľščťž �áíé ľščťžýáíé ľ �čťžýáíé You can see, the some UTF-8 chars are broken (breaking UTF-8 2B chars). When applying the space braking: fold -sw 30 test.rst 123456789 123456789 123456789 ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé The chars are not breaked, but the file is not wrapped for 30 chars. I expect, that the file will be wrapped as this: 123456789 123456789 123456789 ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé ľščťžýáíé regards --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.10-2-amd64 Debian Release: jessie/sid 500 testing security.debian.org 500 testing ftp.cz.debian.org 500 stable deb.opera.com 200 testing www.deb-multimedia.org I set the important severity, because nowaday Debian's default is UTF-8 in terminal. regards -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
