...the bottom listing is how it SHOULD be, upper is how it prints in terminal (my machine - Mac OS X v10.4.11, Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.0, iBook G4)

Do you have LANG or LC_ALL set in your environment?

Do you have your terminal program set up for utf-8? (or other encoding?)

  • Owner changed from macports-tickets@… to dluke@…

Are you really running MacPorts 1.6.0? Probably not the cause of this issue, but you really ought to selfupdate anyway.

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to worksforme

Closing due to lack of response. The common reason for this problem to occur is not having LANG set properly, as Daniel said.
