---------------------------------------- Bug #23218: Fails to parse UTF-8 dpkg-query output when running on non-UTF-8 locale https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/23218#change-101025 * Author: Bernhard Schmidt * Status: Duplicate * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Charlie Sharpsteen * Category: package * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.3.1 * Keywords: encoding utf8 * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Puppet 3.3 outputs the following error message when running with a non-UTF-8 locale (i.e. C or de_DE) while parsing dpkg-query output Debug: Prefetching apt resources for package Debug: Executing '["/usr/bin/dpkg-query", "-W", "--showformat", "'${Status} ${Package} ${Version} :DESC: ${Description}\\n:DESC:\\n'"]' Error: Could not prefetch package provider 'apt': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII This most likely happens due to the UTF-8 quotation marks in the description of the kbd package on Debian. UTF-8 is legal according to my understanding of Policy 5.1, so Puppet should just cope with it.
