Control: retitle -1 lintian: Drop global UTF-8 PerlIO encoding layer
Hi,

This is a bug in Perl:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=69011
in combination with
https://github.com/perl/perl5/issues/8997
https://github.com/perl/perl5/issues/8998
The issues have been open since 2007 and 2011. We do not currently
have a plan for mitigation.
One way would be to drop the global PerlIO encoding layer for UTF-8
and instead use Unicode::UTF8::encode_utf8 explicitly, everywhere.
That would generate a fair amount of work, though.
Kind regards
Felix Lechner
