Package: python3-pkg-resources
Version: 18.7-1
Severity: important
An example of such a file can be found in python3-dialog (the Description
contains UTF-8 encoded non-breaking spaces), but I am sure there are others.
The failure traceback looks as follows (from trying to run an unrelated
package's setup.py):

I thought this might be some locale issue, but LANG is set to a UTF-8 locale,
so it's not that.
