Bug#862371: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.3.1-1
Hi David,
I haven't specifically looked into your issue and the build log doesn't
seem to be available anymore, but it sounds like you're having trouble
with meson being unable to deal with Unicode symbols inside a pbuilder
chroot.
I also have a package that builds with meson and had a FTBFS due to
Unicode support (gnome-twitch), although admittedly it is a much simpler
package than budgie. I fixed my issue by adding LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 in the
d/rules file[0]. Maybe it helps.
