However, I am not sure that reverting that > commit is the right way to solve the issue. I'm definitely not suggesting it's the correct solution, but given that I failed to give you a minimal testcase I was hoping that narrowing down the scope a bit by pointing out the upstream commit to look into would be helpful. The commit itself says it's fixing another regression so by reverting it you'll be trading one problem for another. From my point of view it's pretty easy to decide which problem to choose, but it's ofcourse up to you. ;) An ofcourse a proper fix would be much better! > grep is less and less tolerant against invalid unicode characters. > Maybe are there invalid characters in the debian/* files where > uploaders.mk get the info to fill the Uploaders field? I doubt this, but I also can't explain what causes the issue.... > What package were you trying to build? You can build any package maintained under pkg-gnome to see the problem right now. eg. totem. (If you want another testcase you can pretty much pick any from https://www.0d.be/debian/debian-gnome-3.18-status.html ) > > I would like to collect more info to forward the bug to upstream. Thanks for looking into this. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
