Binary package hint: hwdb-client-kde

I was looking for details of the "Hardware Devices" when the error occured.

This seems to be fixed already in some GNOME applications. They had the same problem.

This happens when the UnicodeEncode is trying to encode a text string into UTF-8 and it is already in UTF-8 format.
