What makes you think it is UTF-8? Have you looked at the file in less? In vim (my statusline shows "help/help_mp-it.h" [converted])? Have you checked with the 'file' command?
yes and yes.
can you -or someone else- check if its' really utf'ed in the repo.
It is not UTF-8:
silver:/var/tmp/mplayer_vanilla $ file file help/help_mp-it.h help/help_mp-it.h: Non-ISO extended-ASCII C++ program text
here is the same, but _after_ the commit before, 'file' recognizes it as utf-8 now i'll retry the commit with the utf-8 file i saved..... pls tell me if then it is utf'd... sorry for the annoyance, but anyway this problem must be solved, sigh
now my machine it's ok, after the reinstallation LANG was left as above, now it's all ok.
This sentence confuses me. What is your locale now? What is the value of the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables, what do you have in /etc/default/locale?
€ echo $LANG it_IT.UTF-8@euro
€ echo $LC_ALL it_IT.UTF-8@euro
€ cat /etc/default/locale LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
to verify that the file is really all UTF8 you can run $ iconv -f UTF8 -t UTF8 < mplayer.1 >/dev/null if there's any error report the encoding is not valid
