Hi,

when running debbindiff 20 on the build artifacts of openocd in unstable,
debbindiff fails like this:

Fri May 22 13:48:49 UTC 2015 - debbindiff 20 will be used to compare the two builds:
Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 64-65: ordinal not in range(128)


However, when debbindiff 16 was used to compare the builds of openocd in
testing on May 5th, this worked nicely.

(Granted, the openocd version was slightly different (0.9.0~rc1-1 vs 0.9.0-1)
but I doubt that this matters. Now we could reschedule openocd in testing so
it would be tested with dbd20, but I'll leave this for later so the current
logs stay as they are.

https://reproducible.debian.net/artifacts/r00t-me/openocd_unstable_tmp-a3af8/
has artifacts for two more days...


cheers,
