ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00
We tracked this down to a physical null-byte (\x00) inside the SQL
extension script provided by the package.
File: /usr/share/postgresql/17/extension/postgis--3.5.2.sql
Location: Inside the definition string for EPSG 8796 (around the
string
"AUTHORITY["EPSG","42")
Because of the null-byte, I had major installation problems.
The null byte is not present in the package from our archive:
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20250119T084018Z/pool/main/p/postgis/postgresql-17-postgis-3-scripts_3.5.2%2Bdfsg-1_all.deb

It is a bug in the packages. If you as a package maintainer do not see action
for this correction, who else I should report this bug to?
You don't need to report this to anyone, you found a solution with the help of
a big tech service.
Kind Regards,
Bas
