Hello,

After further investigation, I found my problem was due to a wrong
environment : the charmap was not UTF-8 :
$ locale -c charmap
LC_CTYPE
ISO-8859-1

I've fixed this by modifying /etc/default/locale
was :
LANG=fr_FR
Fixed with
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

Then
$ sudo update-locale
$ locale -c charmap
LC_CTYPE
UTF-8

Bug should be closed,

Mathieu

Closing the bug as requested.

For future reference, maintainers will often see your follow-ups to a bug
out of context, with no indication other than the bug number of which
bug or even which package you're talking about, and in a mail folder
containing thousands of other messages, so it is helpful to keep the
subject line intact (including the package name) in any replies.
