[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#750525: Bug#750525: mailman: Master qrunner detected subprocess exit while decoding utf8 character

[Laurent Mazet]

Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.16-2
Severity: important

Hi

I don't remenber that I've done any modification in language language file

Moreover, when  I downgrade mailman package to 2.1.16-1, I saw it  
rebuilding language file for en and fr. Thus, it certainly do the same  
while upgrading to 2.1.16-2.

Regards

      Laurent
