Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 The following command is taken from a test case from the php5 source package:
echo -e "\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d\x87\x6d" \ | iconv -f CP932 -t EUC-JP//TRANSLIT The output of this command is different depending on the locale of the calling user. If I call this command in a UTF-8 locale, I get the behavior expected by the php test case. If I call it in a C locale, I get a different output (a series of question marks). If I call it in an ISO8859-1 locale, I get yet a different output. I don't see any reason that the behavior of iconv should be dependent on the locale in which it's invoked. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
