Bug 22058 – apache 2.0.x ebuild and UTF-8 charsets

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tero Pelander 2003-06-01 13:52:30 UTC]

If the users has some utf-8 characterser as environment the apache 2.0.46 ebuild
fails miserably as perl tries to use that charset while interpreting the input
files.

To reproduce:
localedef -v -c -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8  # only if not done previously
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge apache

Result:
At least several hundreads of errors like the following....
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected end of string) at -e line 1, <> line 77558.
