Hash: SHA512
Package: apt-listbugs
Version: 0.1.16
Severity: important
I file that bug for a other system where I don't have mail. So no
automated informations below.
The problem occurs on stable (jessie) that was shortly updated from
oldstable. After that it is not possible anymore to install or upgrade
packages and I get the following error:
...
^MEs wurden 228 kB in 0 s geholt (5.559 kB/s).
^M^MLaden der Fehlerberichte â<80>¦ 0%^ME: "\xE2" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8
E: Unterprozess /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt hat Fehlercode zurückgegeben (1)
E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt
... at the end of apt-get run.
If I reset all locales in the begin, everything works fine.
For the information, I use the following locales on that system:
~> locale
LANG=de_DE
LANGUAGE=de_DE:en
LC_CTYPE=de_DE
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE
LC_TIME=de_DE
LC_COLLATE=de_DE
LC_MONETARY=de_DE
LC_MESSAGES=de_DE
LC_PAPER=de_DE
LC_NAME=de_DE
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE
LC_ALL=
And it is the only system I see that problem. So maybe there is an
interference with some other ruby module or something like that. The
system also plays as puppet master so that is likely.
But as I am not that experienced with ruby I cannot tell.

Personally, I recommend that you switch to UTF-8 on all your systems
(including server boxes).

Cool! Thanks for confirming.

Well, then maybe you could switch to a terminal with UTF-8
support... ;-)

If you mean that you are going to switch back to some non-UTF-8
encoding, then I would recommend you against doing this...
apt-listbugs supports non-English languages through UTF-8 translations,
and using non-UTF-8 encodings leads to replacement characters (such
as '?'), after ruby-gettext / ruby-locale bugs are fixed. Or to plain
run-time errors, with buggy ruby-gettext or ruby-locale packages, as
you already know!
I really encourage you to complete UTF-8 support on your systems.
Bye.
P.S.: I am closing your bug report, since the issue is in other
packages and it has already been fixed (even though not in jessie).
