Description Elmar Stellnberger (AT/K) 2007-01-23 14:55:23 UTC

Version:           3.5.5 (using KDE 3.5.5 "release 50.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.2-34-default

Under Suse10.1 the rug man page is displayed with the wrong character set.
ISO-8859-1 would be the right one rather than UTF-8.

rug man page

Novell claims this to be an error of KDE.

This will presumably be released in Debian 4.0.

For the record, this was fixed or worked around for Debian 5 in man-db 2.5.1-1 / kdebase 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-1:

    - Add a 'man --recode' option to output a source manual page converted
      to a specified encoding. This is expected to be used by debhelper to
      install UTF-8 manual pages.

  * Add 71_kio_man_utf8 patch to support the recode feature of man-db.
    This allows the man kio slave's rendering code to work regardless of the
    source encoding of the manual page.
    Thanks to Colin Watson. (Closes: #449554)
