[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57395] [octave forge] (generate_html) creating pkg html fails using dev octave 6

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #57395 (project octave):

Actually not sure if its a bug or just how octave 6 now works.

Installing say nurbs, using the nurbs repo, I get the following error during
pkg install.


error: regexp: the input string is invalid UTF-8
error: called from
    install>extract_pkg at line 321 column 11
    install>create_pkgadddel at line 724 column 7
    install at line 226 column 7
    pkg at line 475 column 9


After finally finding which file its complaining about (nbr2iges.m) I see its
encoded latin1, vs some of the others that are utf8.


So should it fail to install because the encoding does match the system ?
