Fatal Error using unison-gtk

[Christoph Bier]

Hi all,

upgrading to breezy last month forced me to use the textual
interface of unison. Not that bad but it may be of interest. I
synchronize my Breezy laptop (LANG=de_DE.UTF-8) with my Sarge
desktop (LANG=de_DE at euro). After a short time of scanning
directories I get the following error:

------------------------------------------------------------------
Fatal Error:

Uncaught exception Glib.Convert.Error(1,"Invalid byte sequence in
conversion input")
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The textual interface works. With Hoary and the same locales on both
machines this error did not occur. Any idea what to do? Should I
file a bug report?

BTW: I do not use the Ubuntu packages of unison(-gtk) because client
and server require the same version and the Debian package for Sarge
has a lower version number than the one for Ubuntu. So I installed
on both machines precompiled binaries from the unison homepage. But
I think this does not cause the problem because glib is mentioned in
the error message. I may be totally wrong ...

version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses
