--- Comment #6 from Michael Pyne <mp...@kde.org> ---
I think this is a YAML::PP bug, but it is possible to adjust metadata.yaml to
allow Éric's name to still be spelled properly:
diff --git a/projects/extragear/utils/keurocalc/metadata.yaml
b/projects/extragear/utils/keurocalc/metadata.yaml
index 2f89c70..f706b2f 100644

Putting the string in quotes makes clear to YAML::PP that it's a string and not
some other potential bit of YAML syntax. All the online validators I can find
claim the original was valid YAML, and the spec itself seems to confirm that as
well (allowing any printable Unicode character to be part of a "plain scalar").
Interestingly, using "☃ric Bischoff" as the name, without quotes, *also* works
with YAML::PP. So I suspect this is an instance of the Perl "Unicode bug"
affecting strings that have characters in the range U+0080-U+0100; these are
treated internally as local-8-bit strings instead of utf8 by default and this
has some implications for how other Perl operators process those strings even
if they were read in as utf8.
