Dear Developpers, there are a small numbers of packages that ship files with non-7bit characters in filenames. $ apt-file search -l -x '[\x80-\xff]'
aspell-ca aspell-es aspell-is canorus console-tools dvb-apps ggz-python-games inorwegian jpilot lletters-media otrs2 wnorwegian So this raises two issues: 1) should non-7bit characters in filenames be allowed 2) if yes whould we require the filename to be in a correct UTF-8 encoding ? I raise the question because I was trying to filter out popcon reports that include non-7bit characters since it usually implies corruption of data, but this might not be the case. Also, it seems there is a tool out there that generate .deb packages with names like designkit.702840f10216893fc3494b731e825b33666733d6.1 and filename that are all non-7bit. (probably in Japanese).
