I've stumbled upon this while merging quickml for Ubuntu 26.10, and fixed
it. The root cause is that patch 0001 tagged the character encoding of
message.ja as EUC-JP, which *used* to be correct, but has since changed, as
the file is now UTF-8. This means the multibyte UTF-8 Japanese in the file
is no longer valid EUC-JP, causing build failure.
Another build error occurred due to attempted chowning in d/rules, I
removed this entirely (the chowning is already done in postinst, making it
redundant regardless of the build failure).
See attached patch.
Thanks
Grayson Wolf
