Package: whois Version: 4.7.30 Severity: normal Dear maintainers,
It seems that whois fails when the reply contains non US-ASCII output: $ whois web.de --verbose Using server whois.denic.de. Query string: "-T dn,ace -C US-ASCII web.de" % Error: 55000000013 Invalid charset for response Quoting from https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26634 DENIC recently upgraded its WHOIS servers. Due to strict, explicit US-ASCII calls that whois does, when not configureed with IDN/ICONV support, currently ALL QUERIES FAIL when the response data contains any UTF-8 (e.g. Umlauts in the contact information which is very common). -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.6 APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (700, 'proposed-updates'), (700, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages whois depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libidn11 1.8+20080606-1 GNU libidn library, implementation whois recommends no packages. whois suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
