Actually, the ruby code for the apt provider is UTF-8 (most probably it
has the BOM at the beginning). Puppet will ONLY run under an UTF-8 using
locale. This is thanks to the "Great Idea[tm]" of the ruby interpreter
that only allows source code in the locale of the running process.

those should be US-ASCII. This leads me to wonder which file. Is it the

If a file is being interpreted as US-ASCII, then it is
expected to have no characters with the high bit set. If you edited
any source files with an Unicode editor, it may have changed some of
your punctuatiuon to fancy Unicode versions of that punctuation
(e.g. a pair of quotes to "left quote" and "right quote"), which the
interpreter would not understand.
Blind stab: If you save a file as type "UTF-8" on Windows,
a BOM will be inserted as the first character in the file. Make
sure you save as ASCII.
HTH,
Mike
