[Bug 1073247] [NEW] a2x: pdf output fails with german umlauts in labels

[Guenther Montag]

Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu 12.10
Release:	12.10

asciidoc:
  Installiert: 8.6.7-1
  Kandidat:    8.6.7-1
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 8.6.7-1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Using german umlauts in headers or labels makes a2x -f pdf test.asciidoc
fail. test.asciidoc is written in UTF-8.

...
pdflatex -interaction=batchmode test.tex
pdflatex failed
test.aux:25: Missing \endcsname inserted.
test.aux:25: leading text: ...ne erste �berschrift\relax }{section.1}{}}
test.aux:30: Missing \endcsname inserted.
test.aux:30: leading text: ...1}{1}{\refname \relax }{subsection.2.1}{}}
Unexpected error occured
Error: pdflatex compilation failed

a2x: ERROR: "dblatex" -t pdf -p "/etc/asciidoc/dblatex/asciidoc-dblatex.xsl" -s "/etc/asciidoc/dblatex/asciidoc-dblatex.sty"  -V  "/home/guenther/fh/3.Sem/wiw464_PLM/Winkelmann/test.xml" returned non-zero exit status 1
...

Trying the same with tex output (a2x -f tex test.asciidoc) shows, that
umlauts in labels are not converted to latin1.

The bug seems to be known in Debian:
