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.

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)
