[Bug 59228] Re: cpio build glitch breaks Unicode char handling

[Fabio Massimo Di Nitto]

As discussed on IRC,  we need to update stable because actual cpio cannot cope with some file names when using some locales. The output of the cpio archive would be corrupted.
A test case is provided by the LSB certification suite here:

/tset/LI18NUX2K.L1/utils/cpio-fh/T.cpio-fh

that shows file names and locale.

We are not aware of any direct user being affected by this bug, but it
fails the LSB test/certification process and it could of course hit
users in future.
