-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Ok, I have been able to reproduce this and diagnose the problem. Your "3 1/2 inch floppy link" file contains the "1/2" character, which in code page 437 ( the original IBM PC character set ) is 0xBD. In UTF-8, this is an incomplete multi byte sequence. Dosfsck therefore, is emitting invalid UTF-8 character sequences by blindly spitting out the characters as they appear on disk. It should be translating them to the current system character set ( normally UTF-8 ) using the iconv library, and assuming the characters on disk are CP-437 unless otherwise directed. I am therefore cloning this bug and assigning it to dosfstools.
In addition, when using iconv to convert this character to valid UTF-8, it maps it to U+255C instead of U+00BD, so I'm cloning the bug there as well. Control: clone -1 -2 Control: reassign -1 dosfstools Control: submitter -1 ps...@ubuntu.com Control: retitle -1 dosfsck emits invalid UTF-8 Control: reassign -2 libc-bin Control: retitle -2 iconv maps 0xBD in CP-437 incorrectly Control: submitter -2 ps...@ubuntu.com Finally, I'm working on figuring out how to patch gparted to ignore the conversion error and skip the invalid characters. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJTg8WbAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrwVhsIAKECoVzxwj7+HfLVC2DGWvRc AGv9ck11WOSo3GNyjrpL0u23MVI+It+ogKkEdszixk7sVEB9A4RxI3FkCV1qYb5N ZpF3Bh4CyqHzlWXTLEFl8sNjvFsSiJtKqh/ZEMP+vqYP0Z1hj+IH/1+2DQuAbOrd wdGPoK2WbXbB1VPugIVRndpZm1Tela48SzwmdF6W9RojG5yISS5Un2ca1ePWd65p 5QLkwuItkUYO3AEBgA52UpakPXQc0f72X/c51lOcAcLylr1QHv1CCLyy0NFfVCHs +/K/l0M672+Bywd28GEueAVyqrCtumVW3zJI+cfEaAMKIOoKCg81QhYABsTLTtA= =QzEg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
