I'm not sure this is the problem.

Contrary to what I mentioned yesterday, the problem is not fixed in
tasksel 2.83.

Indeed the tasks/po file is UTF-8 encoded, at least the usefuml part
of it, but the PO file header announces it as
ISO-8859-15. Additionnally, the obsolete strings, at the end of the
file, do contain some ISO-stone-age encoded characters. In short, the
file is a mix of UTF-8 and ISO.

I just dropped the obsolete strings, fixed the file's header and
commited this to my local git copy. Needs to be pushed.



I'd really love seeing people abandon the stone age ISO
encodings....:-|
