*** Bug 83020 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 83500 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** this is a groff/unicode error This seems to work with the newest rpms in rawhide: groff-1.18.1-11 and man-1.5k-5 greetings, Florian La Roche How do I access these updated modules? Shouldn't errata be created for psyche? No, normally only security updates are done. greetings, Florian La Roche This fixed everything I can see but the apostrophe (') character. It displays
as â<80><99>.
Please specify what exactly you are running, what versions and why this should be a problem. Thanks, Florian La Roche I am running Red Hat 8.0 with groff 1.18.1-11 and man 1.5k-5. The command is man rpm. Works for me with current versions. Probably a setup problem on your end to not have a UTF-8 console? Florian La Roche How do I set up a UTF-8 console. The term type is vt100. How do I set up to use plain old ASCII? > Probably a setup problem on your end to not have a UTF-8 console?
Saying that it's a setup problem not to have something set up that almost nobody
knows about seems , well, SILLY.
BTW: my quickest workaround was to
setenv LC_ALL=C
This sets the local to old-style ascii, where everything seems to work much better
(including a 50x increase in grep's speed in some instances)
Should be fixed with the rawhide packages of groff and man. Closing due to user inactivity. |
Description of problem: Output from the man command is garbled. For example, from a telnet session: RPM(8) Red Hat Linux RPM(8) NAME rpm â<88><92> RPM Package Manager SYNOPSIS QUERYING AND VERIFYING PACKAGES: rpm {â<80><90>^Hâ<80><90>q|â<80><90>^Hâ<80><90>â<80><90>^Hâ<80><90>query} rpm {â<80><90>^Hâ<80><90>V|â<80><90>^Hâ<80><90>â<80><90>^Hâ<80><90>verify rpm â<80><90>^Hâ<80><90>â<80><90>^Hâ<80><90>import PUBKEY ... rpm {â<80><90>^Hâ<80><90>K|â<80><90>^Hâ<80><90>â<80><90>^Hâ<80><90>checks PACKAGE_FILE ...
