How can I avoid this error?
Hi,
debian package changelogs are encoded in Unicode, where every character
with an ASCII value > 128 is represented as two bytes. To properly read
such files, invoke a terminal emulator in Unicode mode - e.g. xterm has a
wrapper script "uxterm" which does just that, provided you have configured
at least one UTF locale ('locale -a' shows all configured locales, and
'dpkg-reconfigure locales' will let you re-choose).
1) which terminal emulator does apt-listchanges use by default? man
apt-listchanges says that it uses $PAGER by default. But I do not have
$PAGER set, so I wonder which terminal emulator it is using.
2) How do I know whether my locales are UTF compatible?
I have
kusumanchi% locale -a
C
POSIX
Are they UTF compatible? or do I need to install new locales?
