Package: heirloom-mailx
Version: 12.3-3
Severity: normal

Apticron stopped working for me, instead I got mails from anacron with
the following content:

/etc/cron.daily/apticron:
Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
. . . message not sent.
"//dead.letter" 1285/51195
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/apticron exited with return code 1

This seems to be caused by UTF-8 encoded characters in the debian
changelogs (to be sent by apticron via mailx). There was no default
locale configured for root (and thus POSIX assumed).

Since I am not sure that this behaviour is expected or wanted, I am
filing this bug.

Can be worked around easily by using an UTF-8 locale as system default.
