----------------------------------------
Puppet 3.3 outputs the following error message when running with a non-UTF-8
locale (i.e. C or de_DE) while parsing dpkg-query output
Debug: Prefetching apt resources for package
Debug: Executing '["/usr/bin/dpkg-query", "-W", "--showformat", "'${Status}
${Package} ${Version} :DESC: ${Description}\\n:DESC:\\n'"]'
Error: Could not prefetch package provider 'apt': invalid byte sequence in
US-ASCII
This most likely happens due to the UTF-8 quotation marks in the description of
the kbd package on Debian. UTF-8 is legal according to my understanding of
Policy 5.1, so Puppet should just cope with it.
