Jan, I'm also unable to reproduce your issue. I've tried with 0.61ubuntu2 with LANG=en_ZA.UTF-8.
Could you give us exact steps to reproduce on a fresh 12.04.1 system please? Have you tried a different system? ** Changed in: etckeeper (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1039627 Title: etckeeper init with git gives error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/1039627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
