Lintian tag: upstream-file-without-utf8-name
Type: information
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
The file name in the upstream source tree is not valid UTF-8. There is
probably not much a maintainer can do other than ask upstream to package
the sources differently.
Repacking may by an option, but it often has other drawbacks, such as the
loss of a cryptographic chain of custody.
Unlike other file names in Lintian, which are printed in UTF-8, the
attached reference shows the bytes used by the file system. Unprintable
characters may have been replaced.
Please refer to File names (Section 10.10) in the Debian Policy Manual for
details.
