Bug Description

Binary package hint: ebox

I created a backup of configuration and want to delete it again. When I do this, I get an error message "The input contains invalid characters" (loosely translated from German), and this exception trail:

n$VAR1 = bless( {
                 '-stacktrace' => "Die Eingabe enth\x{e4}lt ung\x{fc}ltige Zeichen. Alle Buchstaben (A-Z, a-z), die Zahlen (0-9) und diese Zeichen (/.?&+:-\@) sowie Leerzeichen sind erlaubt at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/CGI/Base.pm line 189

This might be a consequence of bug 129733. However, when I manually set the webpage encoding to latin1, I get "Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal) at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/CGI/Base.pm line 185" and this:

\n$VAR1 = bless( {
                 '-file' => '/usr/share/perl5/EBox/CGI/Base.pm',
                 '-text' => 'Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal)',
                 '-line' => '185',
                 '-package' => 'Error::subs'
               }, 'Error::Simple' );
