manconv indeed doesn't report the location of iconv errors. I don't really want to slow it down by making it report line positions when it doesn't otherwise care about newlines, but it could report the byte position without too much trouble, which can be given to such things as vim's :goto command. lintian strips stuff off the start of man's stderr, which really doesn't help! I'll try to put things in a form where it all works, and possibly change lintian if that seems necessary (I have commit access). This shouldn't be too hard to fix, so I'll try to do it for 2.5.7. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
