Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.6-1
Followup-For: Bug #307242
I've again used two identical Sarge systems, both using UTF-8.
Using rsync (over ssh), syncing (or listing the contents) from one
system to the other, non-ASCII characters get replaced with numerical
values like '\303\245', eg:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ rsync system2:~/test_åäö_test
drwxr-xr-x 72 2005/09/25 01:39:30 test_\303\245\303\244\303\266_test
The changelog states:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
rsync (2.6.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Now should handle locale-specific characters better in logging output
(i.e. the correct chars should be displayed, not '?').
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This statement is obviously not correct. The '?' has just been replaced
with a numerical value instead. (Almost as useless.)
Is this something that's being worked on upstream? Is there a workaround?
All scripts and programs depending upon the output is almost useless since
several month now.
