Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 8.0.1
Severity: serious
Since today I gets lots of lintian warnings (manpage-has-errors-from-man)
on my dpkg builds because col fails with:
col: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
You can reproduce it by doing this:
LANG=C man --warnings -E UTF-8 -l /usr/share/man/man8/update-alternatives.8.gz
>/dev/null
I don't know if it's col's fault or if it's man-db that does not use col
properly but since col changed recently (and not man-db), I filed the bug
against col. Note that dropping LANG=C makes the warning go away so it's
most certainly locale related. Using any other locale seems to work, even
one that is not UTF-8.
Severity serious to avoid propagation to testing until we know more on the
nature of the problem.
Cheers,

Description:
man-db - on-line manual pager
Closes: 547695 553623 554914 555331
Changes:
man-db (2.5.6-4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Backport from trunk:
- If the locale encoding is ASCII, then use the ascii device even if
preconv is available; it will do a better job than producing UTF-8
output and then recoding that to ASCII (closes: #547695).
- Include <unistd.h> in src/encodings.c for dup and STDIN_FILENO
(closes: #553623).
- When invoking col, ensure that LC_CTYPE is set to an appropriate
locale for the selected character set (closes: #555331).
* Add man-db/auto-update debconf template, which may be preseeded to false
to disable rebuilding the database when man-db is triggered (closes:
#554914).
