Public bug reported: 1) OS: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
2) Package: login 1:4.2-3.1ubuntu5.4 amd64 from xenial-updates/main 3) After installing this package, I expect /etc/login.defs to contain only ASCII characters. 4) Instead, /etc/login.defs contains an Acute Accent (Unicode U+00B4) on line 221 in a comment: === Quote From File === # If set to yes, userdel will remove the user´s group if it contains no === End Quote === This causes a problem in SaltStack: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/55695 SaltStack does recognize that they should do a better job at loading this file and is planning on fixing its problem. But I still question this: Should we expect /etc/login.defs to contain ASCII characters only?
