[pkg-lynx-maint] Bug#989047: lynx: broken handling (double slashes) of relative links

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: lynx
Version: 2.9.0dev.6-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: tg at mirbsd.de

Affected: Lynx Version 2.9.0dev.6 (Debian 2.9.0dev.6-2)
Not affected: Lynx Version 2.8.8dev.16-MirOS-0AB8.1

$ lynx http://www.mirbsd.org/permalinks/wlog2020_e20210207.htm

status bar.

Affected:

So this is a recent regression.

<p>In a next step libc will have a binary toggle between <tt>C</tt>
 and <tt>C.UTF-8</tt> (somewhat again), <a href="../htman/i386/man1/locale.htm" class="manlink">locale(1)</a> and
