Hi,
I encountered this error as well. Here are my notes and workaround.
Build failed with:
== 10:23:16 =[3]=> Building scientific/mpc [0.9 9.0-svn].
!> The package build aborted with the following config error:
!> mpc: Syntax error in mpc.desc: Binary file
package/scientific/mpc/mpc.desc matches
!> mpc: Unknown tag in mpc.desc: [Binary file
package/scientific/mpc/mpc.desc matches]
!> Disable the 'Paranoia Check' config option to ignore such errors.
== 03/03/16 10:23:16 =[3]=> Aborted building package mpc.
-> Unmounting loop mounts ...
The file package/scientific/mpc/mpc.desc is UTF-8 encoded
apparently due to the accent on the first name on this line:
[M] Ren Rebe <[email protected]>
Changing accented e to "e" turned the file into an ASCII encoded
file from a UTF-8 encoded file:
# file mpc.desc*
mpc.desc: ASCII text
mpc.desc.ORIG: UTF-8 Unicode text
Now the T2 build process accepts the file and the build
proceeds beyond mpc.
Note: there are other UTF-8 encoded files in the package
directory structure:
# find . -name "*.desc" -exec file {} \; | grep -v ASCII | grep UTF-8
./dictionary/hunspell/hunspell.desc: UTF-8 Unicode text
./gnome2/gdl/gdl.desc: UTF-8 Unicode text

So far none of the above have caused a problem but it
is not clear if any of the above are actually included
in the currently configured package selection.

Subject: [t2] 3-mpc.error in mpc.desc ?but where?
building for x86 r44796 without optimization has now errored with this
message, I had a look at the file but can't see what's wrong?
The package build aborted with the following config error:
mpc: Syntax error in mpc.desc: Binary file package/scientific/mpc/mpc.desc
matches
mpc: Unknown tag in mpc.desc: [Binary file package/scientific/mpc/mpc.desc
matches]
Disable the 'Paranoia Check' config option to ignore such errors.
some guidance please
