Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release: 18.04
mailman:
Installed: 1:2.1.26-1
Candidate: 1:2.1.26-1
Version table:
*** 1:2.1.26-1 500
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
The Ubuntu package contains Russian-translated HTML templates in really curious
text encoding: UTF-8 interpreted as KOI8-R and converted into UTF-8. Needless
to say, the text looks like this: пёп╨п╟п╤п╦я┌п╣ п©п╟я─п╬п╩я▄:
The upstream mailman has been using UTF-8 for Russian HTML templates
since 2015 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1418448). My guess
is that Ubuntu package scripts (?) has been converting KOI8-R to UTF-8
before upstream switched to UTF-8, and continued to do so after switch,
resulting in broken files.
