given that this is what ends up in my .files-packageinfo-... file
for the oldpackages feed:
libs/lttng-ust
Binary file feeds/oldpackages/libs/clearsilver/Makefile matches
it seems clear that it's the Makefile for the clearsilver packages
that is being treated as binary. aha:
$ file Makefile
Makefile: ISO-8859 text
$
so it's not ASCII text, it's ISO-8859 -- i think that's the problem,
and might trigger the error based on my locale setting or something.
