national-encoding
A file is not valid UTF-8.
Debian has used UTF-8 for many years. Support for national encodings is being phased out. This file probably appears to users in mangled characters (also called mojibake).
Packaging control files must be encoded in valid UTF-8.
Please convert the file to UTF-8 using iconv or a similar
tool.
The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163.
That is the most recent version we know about.
We use semantic versions.
The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the
2.114.0
release tag in our Git
repository.
You can find the detection logic for this version at commit 2ff4e94. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check files/encoding.
