Package: tetex-src
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

(This package cause problems with:
Sources
)

Please check character encoding used in the Debian control files
of this package. As by now, in etch Packages/Sources file,
the segment of this package contains illegal for UTF-8 byte
sequence(s).
Likely, your files are in Latin-1 or same, instead of UTF-8,
and contain separate non-ASCII symbols. As a result,
the Packages/Sources file(s) is a bit corrupted, in Synaptic
info from incorrect fields is N/A.

Possibly this command will report error for you (substitute
right values):

sed -n '/^Package: THISPACKAGENAME$/,/^$/ p' \
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_main_BINA\
RIES-OR-SOURCES | iconv -t UTF32 > /dev/null

Usually, illegal secuences are located in 'Maintainers',
'Uploaders' or 'Description' fields.

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/500607 in Debian BTS
against the package tetex-src. I'm closing it as fixed in *unstable*,
but it will remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/454041. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
