Package: licensecheck Version: 3.0.44-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
While packaging nqp, I've noticed a discrepancy in licensecheck output: licensecheck correctly reports the absence of information when scanning nqp/115-nums.t file from nqp directory: $ licensecheck --encoding utf8 --copyright --machine --recursive nqp | grep 115 nqp/115-nums.t UNKNOWN *No copyright* licensecheck correctly reports garbage when scanning nqp/115-nums.t file from current directory: $ licensecheck --encoding utf8 --copyright --machine --recursive . | grep 115 ./nqp/115-nums.t UNKNOWN ೨೪, ೫e-೩೨೪, '6e-324 denormal equates to 5e-324 denormal (Uni)'); / ೨೪, ೫e-೩೨೪, '5e-324 denormal equates to 5e-324 denormal (Uni)'); / ೨೪, ೧e-೩೨೩, '9e-324 denormal is 1e-323 (Uni)'); / ೨೪, ೦e೦, 'denormal 5e-324 is recognized and is not 0 (Uni)'); / ೨೪, ೦e೦, '2e-324 denormal is 0e0 (Uni)'); / e-೩೨೪, ೫e-೩೨೪, '2e-324 denormal equates to 5e-324 denormal (Uni)'); The mis-decoded file contains © character hence the mojibake garbage. I would expect --encoding utf8 option to be used to read all files. To reproduce: $ git clone https://salsa.debian.org/perl6-team/nqp.git $ git checkout 50fb547df36cc51df65c12503f4db223db39361d # optional $ cd t/ and then run the commands above.
