Description James Rowe 2006-06-04 02:39:33 UTC

During the attempt at stabilisation in bug #131637 Matthias Langer spotted
two issues with the current package which the attached patch fixes.

  Number one: style is overly lax with arg processing, which can be
confusing for users.  There is a simple fix attached, and upstream has been
contacted.
  Number two: the encoding of the German support file can cause problems for
some users.  The attached patch just uses iconv to convert it to UTF-8 from
the ISO-8859 legacy format.

  Neither issue deserve a revision bump in my opinion.  Although both issues
also affect the current stable I'd prefer to leave it is as, at any rate
with these bugs fixed a newer version should be stable soon enough.

Seemant,

  Please include a big thanks to Matthias Langer in your Changelog comment,
he spotted both bugs and I'd never have figured out the encoding thing
without his help.
