Hi,

  I suffer from this bug, too. It is very ennoying (one mail each 5 min :-( ).

  One comment already explain that some plugins do not provide UTF-8 encoded
string. Please, recode all plugin files : plugins (and munin) should not be
dependent of the locale installed on the computer. So expect all config files
UTF-8 encoded and please, provide UTF-8 encoded files yourself.

  You can easily find all problematic files with :
find /usr/share/munin/plugins/ -type f | while read f ; do echo "Checking $f" ; 
uniname -V $f ; done

  And I really think that such bug must be asked for a freeze exception :
recoding some script strings in UTF-8 is a really small change. And munin
is not ready to be used with the problematic plugins without this patch.
  So please, correct these badly encoded strings and ask
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for a freeze exception.

  Best regards,
    Vincent

PS: uniname is in the uniutils package
PPS: these re-encodings will probably be needed to be pushed upstream for
  its next release (but do not wait for it to patch your package *AND*
  ask for a freeze exception)
PPPS: I did not want to change the severity, but I really think that
  a grave severity would be good : one mail each 5 min in a production
  environment is not really a good software for lenny...
PPPPS: "apt-file search  /usr/share/munin/plugins" gives 4 packages
  with munin plugins. Checking each would probably be a good thing
  (I did not do it). munin-node and munin-plugins-extra is yours.
  python-poker-network and sitesummary will perhaps need other bug
  reports.
