This issue has been reported on IRC today. The problem seems to trace
back to a locally-installed package with a non-utf8 maintainer field:
Package: davmail
Maintainer: Micka�l Guessant <mgues...@free.fr>
Of course, this package fails to comply with Debian policy, but that
clearly didn't stop the user from being able to install it - which means
the data is in the system and we need to be able to cope with it.
I'm not sure if this needs to be fixed in ubuntu-drivers or in python-
apt. Reassigning to ubuntu-drivers for the moment.
