Package: dput
Version: 0.12.1
Severity: important
Control: fixed -1 dput/1.0.1-1
Hi,
Sometimes dput 0.12.1 fails to upload with the following error/traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dput", line 11, in <module>
load_entry_point('dput==0.12.1', 'console_scripts', 'execute-dput')()

dpkg_fields = email.parser.HeaderParser().parsestr(dpkg_output)

return Parser.parsestr(self, text, True)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/email/parser.py", line 82, in parsestr
return self.parse(StringIO(text), headersonly=headersonly)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2019' in position

I just created a local backport of dput-1.0.1, and have confirmed that this bug
is fixed in that version. There is already a--perhaps
unofficial--recommendation for developers on stable to use a backported
lintian, so I think that this bug can be closed with an official backport with
an additional--perhaps unofficial--recommendation to additionally use a
backported dput.
Thank you,
Nicholas
