Package: gnome-breakout
Version: 0.5.3-7
Severity: minor
The gnome-breakout.desktop file is encoded in ISO-8859-1. It should be UTF-8.
This causes problems when reading the file:
root@desktop:~# python3 -c "import configparser; app =
configparser.RawConfigParser();
app.read('/usr/share/applications/gnome-breakout.desktop')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/configparser.py", line 697, in read
self._read(fp, filename)
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/configparser.py", line 1017, in _read
for lineno, line in enumerate(fp, start=1):
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/codecs.py", line 322, in decode
(result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
