[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1067704: aptitude manual displayed in iso-8859-1 instead of utf-8 in help tab

[H.-R. Oberhage]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13-6

Hello, contrary to the message in NEWS:

[2018-07-29]
Version 0.8.11
[...]
- Documentation:

   * Change en/README_encoding to use utf-8 as all the other languages, 
instead
     of iso-8859-1

this problem is not solved.
Within aptitude in tab "Help -> User's Manual" the manual is not(!)
shown in utf-8, but (most likely) iso-8859-1.
The culprit part seems to be the file src/ui.cc in function

do_help_readme()

in lines 1184 and especially 1190, where "ISO_8859-1" should by replaced
by "UTF-8".

I'm a big fan of aptitude, so all the best!
Thanks.
