[DRE-maint] Bug#705799: lolcat: chokes upon invalid utf-u

[Sebastian Bremicker]

Package: lolcat
Version: 42.0.99-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

lolcatting a file containing an invalid utf-8 character when it's not
expected, like in

Helenenstraße 22

(I'll try to attach the file for testing)

leads to an exception:

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/lolcat/lol.rb:45:in `gsub!': invalid byte sequence
/in UTF-8 (ArgumentError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/lolcat/lol.rb:45:in `println'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/lolcat/lol.rb:36:in `block in cat'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/lolcat/lol.rb:34:in `each'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/lolcat/lol.rb:34:in `cat'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/lolcat/cat.rb:113:in `block in cat!'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/lolcat/cat.rb:107:in `each'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/lolcat/cat.rb:107:in `cat!'
        from /usr/games/lolcat:24:in `<main>'
