[Bug 352744] [NEW] wrong encoding of man pages

[FloX]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: deborphan

The French man pages do not display correctly: deborphan, orphaner,
editkeep

user at jaunty$ echo $LANG
fr_FR.UTF-8
user at jaunty$ man 1 deborphan

It seems that the UTF-8 file was converted again from ISO-8859-1 to
UTF-8.

The command that revert to the right encoding:

user at jaunty$ zcat /usr/share/man/fr/man1/deborphan.1.gz | iconv -f UTF-8
-t ISO-8859-1 | man -l -

Same analysis for :
 /usr/share/man/fr/man8/editkeep.8.gz
 /usr/share/man/fr/man8/orphaner.8.gz
