[Pkg-italian-maintainers] Bug#375851: Error when reading unrecognized characters

[Enrico Zini]

Package: festival-it
Severity: serious

Hello,

here's another problem, and it's likely to be what's killing the accessibility
software[1]:

$ echo "Evviva il Perú" | festival --tts --language english
$ echo "Evviva il Perú" | festival --tts --language finnish
SIOD ERROR: damaged env : #<UNKNOWN 12 0xa72b04d8>
$ echo "Evviva il Perú" | festival --tts --language spanish
$ echo "Evviva il Perú" | festival --tts --language italian
LTS_Ruleset italian_downcase: no rule matches:
LTS_Ruleset: # P e r *here* � � #
$

So far, I have no clue how to fix this.

Ciao,

Enrico
