Description Jens Thorp-Hansen

2015-08-04 11:36:34 CEST

In univention-repository-x (at least -create and -update) a warning is thrown:

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/debian/deb822.py:200: UnicodeWarning: decoding from utf-8 failed; attempting to detect the true encoding
  UnicodeWarning)

It has no known negative impact but if a cron-job is used and configured to send warnings per mail - this will trigger an e-mail every time the cron-job is running - which is at least annoying. 

appears in: https://forge.univention.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38248 and at least one OTRS ticket (by Landtag Brandenburg).

See Bug 37937 comment 5 for the real issue, which is fixed for UCS-4.0+e188, but as the broken package information from UCS-4.0-0 will we included until UCS-5, that warning persist until then.

Observed by customer during UCS@school Workshop

happened again at: 
Ticket#2016060821000567

Comment 4 Stephan Hendl 2016-12-06 07:46:57 CET

Also seen in UCS-4.1-4, Errata 350.

Comment 5 Philipp Hahn

Again noticed during 2016060821000567,2018051421000311

Instead of waiting for UCS-5 I could manually remove the broken package from out FTP site and replace it with the fixed version from e188. This would not be the first change to an already published UCS release...

Comment 6 Stephan Hendl 2018-07-26 08:18:42 CEST

Again seen in UCS-4.3-1, Errata 151

The issue occurs in 4.3-1 as you can see from Comment 6. So please adjust the Version Number.

This issue has been filed against UCS 4.3.

UCS 4.3 is out of maintenance and many UCS components have changed in later releases. Thus, this issue is now being closed.

If this issue still occurs in newer UCS versions, please use "Clone this bug" or reopen it and update the UCS version. In this case please provide detailed information on how this issue is affecting you.
