[Bug 1310569] [NEW] Error: Could not set 'file' on ensure: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

[Hadmut Danisch]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

puppet fails to install file ressources from puppet:///... for some
files with the error message

Error: Could not set 'file' on ensure: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
Error: Could not set 'file' on ensure: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
Wrapped exception:
invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
Error: /Stage[main]/Hadmut::Application::X11_common/File[/usr/local/share/fonts/FreeFonts/Momоt___.ttf]/ensure: change from absent to file failed: Could not set 'file' on ensure: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII


because it does not open files in  :binary mode. 

Just to have this bug known to ubuntu, I already have opened an upstream
bug report more than a month ago, which unfortunately did not get any
response yet:
