Bug#1025981: ansible-core breaks ansible-lint autopkgtest: Ansible requires the locale encoding to be UTF-8; Detected None.

[Paul Gevers]

Source: ansible-core, ansible-lint
Control: found -1 ansible-core/2.14.0-1
Control: found -1 ansible-lint/6.3.0-2
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of ansible-core the autopkgtest of ansible-lint
fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages
of ansible-core from unstable. It passes when run with only packages
from testing. In tabular form:

pass fail
ansible-core from testing 2.14.0-1
ansible-lint from testing 6.3.0-2
all others from testing from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of ansible-core to
testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report
against both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and
reassign the bug to the right package?
