[Bug 1022993] Re: aptd crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in _emit_acquire_item(): 'utf-8' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: invalid continuation byte

[Thomas A. F. Thorne]

Noting that I hit this again today.  I wonder what is up with my system
that am seeing this every month or so.  I have already run RAM tests
recently without anything being flagged up over a weekend.  Maybe I have
an odd package installed or something corrupted on my HDD.  The SMART
attributes all look OK and the drive is less than a year old, I will see
if I can do some kind of integrity scan all the same just in case.
