Package: kturtle Version: 4:3.3.2-3 Severity: important Tags: l10n
Some of the file names in this package are in the Latin-1 character encoding scheme: $ ls -1 /usr/share/apps/kturtle/examples/fr_FR | iconv -f latin1 -t utf8 carr�ogo enroul�ogo exemple1.logo triangle.logo If the user's locale is one which uses some other character encoding scheme, these can generate incorrect results in other system tools, for example coreutils and findutils. This is because the '�character forms a leading byte of an invalid multibyte character sequence in UTF-8. The effect of this is that such filenames fail to match the glob characters ? and *. Essentially, "ls", "find" and "locate" (among other things) generate the wrong result for these files. If the user modifies their locale to an ISO-8859-1 locale, then these filenames are not a problem. However, I think it's inappropriate for Debian packages to use filenames that cause other tools (also from Debian packages) to work incorrectly:- $ ( find . ; echo ===; find . -name '*' ) | iconv -f latin1 -t utf8 . ./triangle.logo ./carr�ogo ./enroul�ogo ./exemple1.logo === . ./triangle.logo ./exemple1.logo $ /bin/ls --ignore='*' | iconv -f latin1 -t utf8 carr�ogo enroul�ogo -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kturtle depends on: ii kdelibs4 4:3.3.2-6.1 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.7.0-7 client library to control the FAM ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libidn11 0.5.13-1.0 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.3.4-3 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.6-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxrender1 1:0.8.3-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
