Subject: mailman: Broken encoding in Russian-translated HTML templates Package: mailman Version: 1:2.1.23-1+deb9u2 Tags: l10n Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, The Debian package contains Russian-translated HTML templates in really curious text encoding: UTF-8 interpreted as KOI8-R and converted into UTF-8. Needless to say, the text looks like this: пёп╨п╟п╤п╦я┌п╣ п©п╟я─п╬п╩я▄: The upstream mailman has been using UTF-8 for Russian HTML templates since 2015 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1418448). My guess is that Debian package scripts (?) has been converting KOI8-R to UTF-8 before upstream switched to UTF-8, and continued to do so after switch, resulting in broken files.
