Description Dmitry S. Vasilchenko 2007-03-04 14:12:44 UTC 
man-pages 2.43-8 fc7 and earlier

The following lines in the man-pages.spec file possibly contain an error:

       LANG=en iconv -f latin1 -t utf-8 -o en/$l1 $l1
       rm -f $l1
       LANG=en iconv -f latin1 -t ascii//translit -o $l1 en/$l1

Specifically, the third line should supply "-f utf-8" to the iconv utility 
since a man-page on input is in the UTF8 encoding. Any thoughts, is this an 
error?
