Bug#702202: Acknowledgement (texlive-binaries: mendex manpage completely unreadable)



It is euc-jp, interpreted as latin1, converted to utf-8, according to
mirabilos who appears to have faced enough horror in this world to
recognize that ;) ...

The mapage can be read using (a variant of):

 $ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/mendex.1.gz | iconv -f utf-8 -t latin1 | iconv -f euc-jp -t utf-8 | nroff -mandoc | less

Please note that not shipping a readable man page violates DPM 12.1, although it only has a SHOULD.
