Hello again Christoph, maybe you recall about this [bug] report that you filed against apt-listbugs back on August 2016... [bug]: <https://bugs.debian.org/834557> Well, thanks to another kind user, I managed to figure out how to reproduce the issue. The key point is having some UTF-8 (non ASCII) character in /var/lib/apt-listbugs/ignore_bugs and, at the same time, running apt-listbugs with a locale that does not support UTF-8. In your case, I have only now noticed that you had set "en_DE.UTF-8" as your locale. At least, this is what reportbug wrote in your original bug report: [...] | Locale: LANG=en_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) [...] But "en_DE.UTF-8" is a non-existent locale: $ grep -i "en_DE\.UTF-8" /etc/locale.gen $ grep -i "_DE\.UTF-8" /etc/locale.gen # de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 # hsb_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 Hence, your system was probably falling back to the C locale, which does not support UTF-8 multi-byte characters. I don't know whether you have experienced any similar issues again, but, in any case, I would recommend you to configure your system with an existent locale which is actually installed on your system (unless you have already done so in the meanwhile). I hope this helps. Bye. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! ..................................................... Francesco Poli .
