Bug#799123: Debug::pkgAcquire::Worker output is percent-encoded incorrectly



Hi,

The precent encoding is done on characters, not on bytes. I presume you
are trying this on an amd64 machine, which has a signed char, so the
valid range is from -128 (or -127) to 127 only.


I am a bit at a lost here as I don't understand what the problem is…
maybe you can give us an idea how and why you are trying to sent bytes
instead of characters in our textinterface here?
