Yup, I've been aware of the issue for a while, and have been deferring its resolution for a while because I haven't seriously looked into encodings, and because the objective isn't to make the tests superficially pass. >> As the package maintainer, I'm willing to sponsor at commit:fc1fac7 or >> equivalent. >> > > I can revert to 01379469 which is just before I tried Jeremy's solution > if you are OK to sponsor this. I found time to review your changes. Once again, the changelog should unambiguously document changes to the package without requiring git history to interpret any changelog entry. See changelog and git log for further info. The UTF-8 issue appears to be present in autopkgtests, but I can't remember if this is an old or a new issue. IIRC there was something on debian-devel about how they're going to become more important for trixie or trixie+1. I think it said the bounty would be dropped and some sort of penalty or block would be introduced. Test this with $ autopkgtest -- schroot sid-amd64-sbuild Do these pass on your systems? And here's an interesting discussion that is, at worst, tangentially related to the problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2223882/whats-the-difference-between-utf-8-and-utf-8-with-bom Cheers, Nicholas
