Problems with "missing files" and international characters?
-------------------------------------------------------------

From http://bugs.debian.org/466591


"When verifying .md5 or .cfv files which contain filenames containing 
 chars with values > 127 (in ISO-8859), cfv reports the corresponding 
files as missing.

...

cfv (1.x) has no understanding of encodings for text checksum files, and
since the files are encoded in iso-8859-? but your system is probably
using utf-8 for filenames, the bytes just aren't going to match up.  For
the text-based formats you can work around this pretty easily by
manually converting the files:

"iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 foo.md5 > foo.utf8.md5"
