Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
On my GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.3) workstation emacs is unable to bunzip2
files whose names are not ASCII, maybe because file names are utf-8 encoded on
this system.
Steps to reproduce this bug:
In the shell:
> echo xx > bä.txt # the second letter of the filename is a-Umlaut
> bzip2 bä.txt
> emacs -q --no-site-file
In emacs
- type "M-x auto-compression-mode"
- open a dired buffer which contains the file (the filename is displayed
correctly with the Umlaut),
- move point to the file and press enter
The error message "File exists, but cannot be read" is displayed
and an empty buffer is created. If I rename the file with dired-do-rename to
'bae.txt.bz2', the file can be opened without any problems.
bunzip2 has no problems to unzip the file with its original name (tests started
from eshell, xterm, text-only terminal)
The same happens if I use gzip instead of bzip2.
Files which are not compressed can be read without problems, even if their names
contain non-ASCII characters. Uncompressing the file 'bä.txt.bz2' in a dired
buffer with 'Z' (dired-do-compress) works, too, and gives the readable file
'bä.txt'.
