Comment 1 Andreas Schwab 2009-08-17 12:12:31 UTC

There are no cyrillic characters in ASCII.  Transliteration does not convert between scripts.

Comment 2 DaLiV 2009-08-17 17:09:03 UTC

thera also have no other languages specific letters as umlauts in german, 
echo Füße | LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 iconv -f UTF-8 -t ascii//translit
result Fuesse, howewer there is not in ascii table letters ü and ß ... so it's bug ...

Comment 3 DaLiV 2009-08-17 17:22:07 UTC

or polish:
echo Žluťoučký kůň | LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 iconv -f UTF-8 -t ascii//translit
result Zlutoucky kun , that also was not in latin characters ...

Be sure that your answer correspond to declaration of package you have included for maintain : 
libiconv is part of glibc , iconv functionality defined on http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/

i'm understand - easiest way to say it's not a bug,...

Comment 4 DaLiV 2009-08-17 17:37:23 UTC

for latest iconv do 

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/libiconv.git 

and you will get full source of iconv  - and you will see that in your source is missed many files related to many encodings ...

Comment 5 Andreas Schwab 2009-08-18 07:00:27 UTC

These are all latin characters.
