Package: python-gnupg Version: 0.3.5-2 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
There are some DD's that have mangled character encodings on their UID
records of their public keys, particularly an 'é' as in José or Lainé,
instead of being encoded as UTF-8 sequence 0xC3 0xA9, they've been
encoded as 0xE9 (like ISO-8859-1).
python-gnupg fails when listing these keys with the following traceback:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnupg.py", line 1047, in list_keys
self.decode_errors).splitlines()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 207127:
invalid continuation byte
This can temporarily be worked around by importing the keyring, editing
the keys and deleting the offending UID packets… until the keys are
refreshed.
I'm a Python newbie so wouldn't know if it's possible to have the
language be more lenient about decoding corrupt UTF-8 data, but after
poking around stackoverflow.com it doesn't seem likely.
Seeing that the module does support locales, I futilely tried exporting
LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 which results in "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii'
codec can't decode byte 0xc3" errors.
