$ echo abc | LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 iconv -f UTF-8 -t WINDOWS-1250 iconv: illegal input sequence at position 0 It works on a fresh Gentoo installation. But after emerge --sync and emerge -uD world it doesn't. PS: sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r1 sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r4 Linux ojo 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 #1 PREEMPT Mon Jan 8 19:42:09 CET 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
This has exactly zero in common w/ Gentoo Bugzilla product; read the descriptions.
Works fine here w/ glibc-2.5... # echo abc | LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 iconv -f UTF-8 -t WINDOWS-1250 abc
post `emerge --info` like the bugreport page told you to also post `locale-gen -l` you should also try upgrading to glibc-2.5 and see if that works
