Package: reportbug
Version: 3.29.5
Severity: important
I tried to report a bug in "apt", using "reportbug apt"
'reportbug' then wanted to icnlude /etc/apt/sources.list
in the report, which is reasonable. Then this happened:
I can automatically include various information about your apt
configuration in
your bug report. This information may help to diagnose your problem.
May I include your apt configuration (/etc/apt/apt.conf et al)? [Y/n] Y
May I include your /etc/apt/preferences configuration file? [Y/n] Y
May I include your /etc/apt/sources.list configuration file? [Y/n] Y

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 2393-2395:

Now, myx sources.list files contain lots of comments written by
me (in Norwegian, which uses non-ascii letters).
Some are from before I switches to UTF-8, so they are invalid
unicode.
I see no need for reportbug to trip up over some unreadable
*comments* in a file. It really should forward the file
as-is. Note that it is even possible to have file/directory
names that are invalid unicode, so stripping comments
won't help.
