  • Bug#1103251: utf8 not handled properly with locale?

    From VA@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 15 17:30:01 2025
    Package: atool
    Version: 0.39.0-14

    If the current path contains diacritics, it may crash with some UTF-8
    locale and format:

    ```
    % pwd
    /tmp/1000/plop-2832509/ééé
    % touch foo
    % ar rcs foo.a foo
    % LANG=C aunpack foo.a
    x - foo
    foo.a: extracted to `Unpack-2549' (local file exists)
    % LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 aunpack foo.a
    Wide character in setenv at /usr/bin/aunpack line 33.
    ar: /tmp/1000/plop-2832509/ééé/foo.a: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce nom
    aunpack: ar ...: non-zero return-code
    ```

    It's not even about the name of the archive or the files inside the
    archive, it fails merely because of current directory path!
