  • Error when building using iconv to convert problematic encondings to UT

    From Jose G. =?ISO-8859-1?Q?L=F3pez?=@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 11 20:20:01 2022
    Dear mentors,

    I'm working on importing a new upstream version for scid package and I want to get rid of "national-encoding" lintian warning.
    I'm trying to use iconv to convert problematic encondings to UTF-8 but I always get an error, no matter where I put instructions (override_dh_auto_install, override_dh_install). Files exists when the command is launched ...

    I have pushed my changes to a devel branch[0]. To build from that branch I use `gbp buildpackage --git-debian-branch=devel`.

    --- Output ---
    iconv -f ISO-8859-15 -t UTF-8 -o /home/josgalo/devel/debian/packaging/scid/build-area/scid-4.7.4+dfsg1/debian/tmp/scid/usr/share/scid/tcl/lang/hungary.tcl \

    Could you point me where the error is? Or get some examples from other packages.
    Thank you very much!

    Are you sure converting that file is useful and won't break the software for the
    use cases when this file is used?

    Your input and output file is the same. Looks like iconv crashes with
    SIGBUS in this case, instead of just silently truncating the file or
    something like that, as many other tools would do in this case. If you
    really want to convert the file, you need to output the result to a
    different file and then move it to the old location.

    Please run your commands with LANG=C if you intend to show the output when asking for help.

    Or use "sponge"; package "moreutils".

    You're right it breaks program menus[0]. Once I handle to use iconv properly I see it ...
