Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.3
Followup-For: Bug #739507
Dear Maintainer,
this issue manifested on a fresh Jessie installation and
therefore I tried to find out something about it.
To me it looks like on affected systems no one sets the
default encoding in this python process.
At least my system where it does not appear it is set.
Therefore I collected now 2 workarounds:
- install package python-gtk2 (which sets default encoding on initialization,
initpango () from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/pango.so)
- add to /usr/bin/reportbug after the import sys these 2 lines:
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding(utf-8)
Kind regards,
Bernhard
(Attached some lines about the debugging.)
