Description fedora.dm0 2021-11-09 19:45:03 UTC

Description of problem:
Fedora 35 has a new subpackage glibc-gconv-extra which now contains support for code page 850, the default DOS character set.  The mtools commands fail without this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mtools-4.0.35-1.fc35.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. truncate --size=272629760 esp.img
2. mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n EFI-SYSTEM esp.img
3. mmd -i esp.img ::/EFI ::/EFI/BOOT

Actual results:
The mmd command fails with return code 1 and output:
Error converting to codepage 850 Invalid argument
Error setting code page
Cannot initialize '::'
Error converting to codepage 850 Invalid argument
Error setting code page
Cannot initialize '::'

Expected results:
It should successfully create directories in the image.

Additional info:
It works after "dnf -y install glibc-gconv-extra".  The code page can be changed in the config file, but it looks like all acceptable options (judging by the man page's description) are packaged in glibc-gconv-extra.
