Hi, I'm currently trying to install Skype's MSI using puppet. The name of the package returned by 'puppet resource package' is "SkypeT 6.14". The correct one would be "Skype™ 6.14".
However, puppet fails to handle both: If specified with the trademark sign, I get an "invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII" error. If specified following the return value if the puppet resource, it also tries to install it again (as it does not match the windows package name). It seems that puppet has a general problem with utf-8 characters or other special signs like umlauts [1],[2] which had not been fixed yet. But I wasn't able to find a workaround/solution for this kind of problem. Software in use: Puppet Client: v3.4.3 on Windows 7 Professional (German language) Puppet Master: v3.4.3 on Debian 7 Anyone has an idea? Thanks in advance.
