[Bug 494069] [NEW] hpodder doesn't handle unicode correctly

[Matthäus Brandl]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hpodder

I'm using hpodder 1.1.5.0 on karmic with the following naming pattern:
% cat ~/.hpodder/hpodder.conf | grep patt
namingpatt = %(safecasttitle)s/%(epid)s-%(safeeptitle)s

I'm listening to German podcasts which occasionally contain umlauts (ie äöü) in their episode titles.
The files hpodder saves are not named with the correct encoding: (nautilus displays the filename with an appended "(invalid encoding)")
% ls 4*
4-Spielr?ume_-_15.10.2009

I'd expect the ouput to be
4-Spielräume_-_15.10.2009

When I want to copy the file using tab expansion in the zsh, it gets
globed to "cp 4-Spielr$'\344'ume_-_15.10.2009"

hpodder is downloading the podcast to an ext3 partition. As a
consequence it seems that I can't copy my podcasts with unison to my
vfat based audio player.

% LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy hpodder
