Just try building libvrb. Can it be a locale problem?

Adding --utf8-strings seems indeed to be the best solution. Gruesse, -- Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www: http://www.djpig.de/

Hi,
Lintian (and Policy?) requires the Debian changelog to be UTF-8
encoded. But if -- for example, -- the maintainer name is encoded this
way, then gpg fails to find the secret key because assumes by default
that the command line parameters are not UTF-8 encoded. Passing
- --utf8-strings to gpg solves the problem.
Patch attached.
