Bug#575048: clive: Mangles paths that contain non-ASCII characters

[Ben Finney]

Package: clive
Version: 2.2.8-1
Severity: normal

When downloading to a path that contains the character ‘ä’, clive
mangles the path and then complains that the resulting path doesn't
exist:

=====
$ pwd
/home/bignose/Video/Jäan Ranniko

$ clive http://vimeo.com/8066961
fetch http://vimeo.com/8066961 ...done.
fetch config ...done.
verify video link ...done.
/var/local/data/video/bignose/Jäan Ranniko/Clown Cult.vimeo[8066961].html; charset=UTF8: No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/clive/Curl.pm line 224, <OPT> line 7.
=====

My configuration file for clive:

=====
$ cat ~/.cliverc | grep -v '^\(#\|$\)'
--format best
--cclass "[^/]"
--filename-format "%t.%h[%i].%s"
=====
