[DRE-maint] Bug#1002532: pygments breaks ruby-pygments.rb autopkgtest: UTF-8 != ASCII-8BIT

[Alexandre Ghiti]

Hi guys,

The same issue was reported to Ubuntu. I shared this problem upstream
[1], and the maintainer quickly proceeded by providing a patch to fix
it in the latest version.

As the current version we have is from 2017, I bumped the version of
this package to the latest available version: I updated the patches,
removed the ones that do not apply anymore, updated the build system
and dependencies. The result is available in my PPA [2] and fixes the
issue we encounter here.

Can you consider pulling this?

Thanks,

Alex
