[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#762131: pandoc: markdown → docx → markdown roundtrip fails with Data.Text.Encoding.Fusion.streamUtf8: Invalid UTF-8 stream

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: pandoc
Version: 1.12.4.2~dfsg-1+b11
Severity: normal

I tried to route the simplest possible markdown document through a
docx roundtrip, and got a failure:

0 dkg at alice:~$ echo 'test document' > test.mdwn
0 dkg at alice:~$ pandoc -o test.docx test.mdwn
0 dkg at alice:~$ pandoc -o test.clean.mdwn test.docx
pandoc: Cannot decode byte '\x9b': Data.Text.Encoding.Fusion.streamUtf8: Invalid UTF-8 stream
1 dkg at alice:~$ 

Thanks for packaging pandoc for debian!

Regards,

        --dkg
