Package: libreadline5 Version: 5.2-3 Severity: minor /etc/inputrc contains the comment:
# To allow the use of 8bit-characters like the german umlauts, comment out # the line below. However this makes the meta key not work as a meta key, # which is annoying to those which don't need to type in 8-bit characters. # set convert-meta off But the line is already commented out. I think from reading bash(1) that it should be "uncomment" rather than "comment out" as uncommenting the line stops meta-conversion, which makes 8-bit characters pass verbatim. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libreadline5 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080830-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii readline-common 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries libreadline5 recommends no packages. libreadline5 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
