BUG: m4 1.4.8b_1 prevents messages from being displayed in ISO8859-1

Reported by: vinc17@… Owned by: blair (Blair Zajac)
Priority: High Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: vinc17@…

Description

The new version of m4 (1.4.8b_1) installs a file /opt/local/lib/charset.alias whose effect is to regard any charset as UTF-8. The consequence is that when LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 and LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.ISO8859-1 are used, messages (from any program) are displayed as if the encoding were UTF-8. Reverting to m4 1.4.4_0 solves the problem (as no charset.alias file is distributed with this version).

Severity set to Serious as this affects programs unrelated to m4.

that file seems to be quite the trouble-causer.

$port cat all | grep -c "\${destroot}/\${prefix}/lib/charset.alias"
16

in all of those port it's deleted in the post-destroot phase

The charset.alias file is still there. I think you forgot to increase the revision.
