[Debian-handbook-translators] English PDF fail to build

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

I ran into a PDF build problem with the nb-NO edition of the book, only
to discover that the problem also exist in the en-US edition.  Can
someone perhaps fix the original to get the PDF building working?  Once
this is in place, I can adjust the nb-NO build to follow suit.

This is what I get when building from the bullseye/main branch using the
stable tools (publican 4.3.2-3, dblatex 0.3.12py3-1):

The first lines in question seem to be in
en-US/08_basic-configuration.xml, the <screen> block with non-UTF-8
characters starting in line 324.  I have no idea what is wrong, but
suspect the non-UTF-8 characters are involved. :)
