Package: sed
Version: 4.2.1-3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
With locale environment set to zh_CN.GBK, the installation of package
console-setup version 1.45 will be stuck due to the failure of sed to
process string like following (excerpt from console-setup.config):
zh_CN*variant*ma*french*Morocco - 法语
The last 2 Chinese characters are encoded in UTF-8, with byte sequence
that would be imcomplete for GBK.
While sed tries to decode those bytes into local encoding with a call to
mbrtowc(3), it ignored the possibility of incomplete multibyte sequence,
thus an endless loop.
A simple patch is available in the attachment.
And as a workaround to console-setup, the locale could be set to C to
bypass the sed problem.
Regards
