For some reason that I cannot understand, Ruby at some point seems to
consider this string as ASCII-8BIT and cannot concatenate it with a
UTF-8 string. Hence, when using a localization where the translation of
Fixed includes non-ASCII UTF-8 characters (one such localization is
the Swedish Tillrättade), an Encoding::CompatibilityError is
generated...
As I said, I cannot understand why Ruby is convinced that the subject
line of bug #717391 is encoded in ASCII-8BIT.

Hence, I seem to understand that this subject line is sent as a
base64-encoded UTF-8 string. I failed to figure out where Ruby begins
to consider it as ASCII-8BIT.
On a second thought, I am under the impression that it should be the
responsibility of the SOAP library to return UTF-8 strings with the
encoding correctly set, so that Ruby knows how to handle them.
I am reassigning the bug report to package ruby-soap4r, in the hope
that the actual issue may be fixed there.
Please note that, if I force apt-listbugs to interpret the subject line
of bugs as UTF-8 encoded strings (by modifying a single line of code
in /usr/share/apt-listbugs/debian/bug.rb , see the attached diff),
the issue with
$ LC_ALL=sv_SE.UTF-8 apt-listbugs list sound-juicer
seems to vanish.
However, I am afraid that this would *not* be a general solution: what
if, for some other bug subject line, the BTS SOAP interface returns a
string which is not UTF-8 encoded? I think that funny characters would
be displayed by apt-listbugs, if it took every subject line as always
encoded in UTF-8... Or am I wrong?
This is the reasoning that made me think the issue is actually in
ruby-soap4r. I hope it may be fixed there in a proper way.
Bye.
