Package: apt-xapian-index Version: 0.45 Severity: important The weekly cron job crashes every week because app-install-data contains a desktop file that has invalid UTF-8 in it (see #693854). app-install-data is installed because packagekit-backend-aptcc and software-center both depend on it. software-center I installed manually but packagekit-backend-aptcc is pulled in by default Recommends on libpackagekit-glib2-14, which is pulled in by gnome-settings-daemon. The fix should be as simple as catching UnicodeDecodeError exceptions and skipping the file, hopefully that will be simple enough for the release team to allow the fix into wheezy too.
