Licensecheck reads data as Latin1 by default. Explicitly tell licensecheck to use (or more accurately first try) utf8: licensecheck -l250 --deb-machine --merge-licenses --encoding utf8 tour_rings.rst I agree that this is not optimal: Nowadays licensecheck should use utf8 by default. I am just not quite certain how to go about that - if ok to simply switch, or if I should make a mimor or major version bump when doing such change. -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
