[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#724645: Error: Could not prefetch package provider 'apt': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

Package: puppet-common
Followup-For: Bug #724645

Hi,

I have the same problem. At a first glance it is caused by the
description of the kbd package, which contains UTF-8 quotation marks
around "console-data" in the description.

  You will probably want to install a set of data files, such as the one
  in the “console-data” package.

As far as I understand Policy section 5.1 this is legal, so definitely a
bug in Puppet. 

Best Regards,
Bernhard
