Bug#666202: bugs.debian.org: corrupts utf8 messages

Package: bugs.debian.org

Lately I've noticed some funny characters in bug reports I send and
receive. When I am cc-ed on messages they are fine, while when them
come through the BTS they are corrupted. For example, in the pristine
version of the attached message, I saw:

# aptitude -t squeeze-backports install linux-image-2.6-686
→ (the symbol to the left is a Unicode right arrow)
$ aptitude search linux-image

While in the version forwarded through the BTS, I see:

# aptitude -t squeeze-backports install linux-image-2.6-686
à¢Â†Â’ (to the left are an a with macron and two meaningless chars)
$ aptitude search linux-image

I thought maybe the original messages were malformed somehow, but:


They seem to be fine.

Known problem?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Sorry to say it does work. I've tried it several times and for hours, doing a big backup,
and the wired network access runs smoothly.

Thank you very much for pointing me to Backports.

# aptitude -t squeeze-backports install linux-image-2.6-686
à¢Â†Â’
$ aptitude search linux-image
à¢Â€Â¦
i A linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-686-pae
à¢Â€Â¦

As we know which module it is, can't the authors tell you the exact version and patch?

Thank you again,

Axel

Thanks. Retitling to make this easier to find.

the bug may be related to bugs #613874, #600286 (both in reference to AR8131), as the
symptoms sound very similar.

When the submitter of #613874 tried a 3.2.y kernel, the bug seemed to
be fixed, but unfortunately we weren't able to follow up to find the
relevant patch and apply it to squeeze.

Can you reproduce this with a wheezy, sid, or squeeze-backports
kernel? The only packages needed from outside squeeze for this test
are the kernel image itself, linux-base, and initramfs-tools.

If it doesn't work, we're in luck and we can report this upstream. If
it works, a next step would be to try a few versions halfway between
from snapshot.debian.org to narrow down what version introduced the
fix.

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
