Update of bug #49839 (project octave): Item Group: None => Incorrect Result Status: None => Confirmed Summary: Perl 5.8.8 Unicode case-folding bug caused by installing symbolic-2.4.0 package => mxe-octave: perl 5.8 utf8 module case-folding bug caused by installing symbolic-2.4.0 package _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #3: This has been reported earlier: https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy/issues/610 This is probably occurring when any package is installed and it runs the `makeinfo` command to compile the doc strings in the package. The `makeinfo` command is a perl script, and uses the `utf8` perl module. And it may only affect certain locales, or may only affect certain Unicode characters that are used in the symbolic package doc strings. This could be fixed by either patching the perl library that is built and provided with the Octave Windows bundle, or by updating to a newer version of perl. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49839> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
