[Test Case] * Observe https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/4617feba656f6ec216996b0f1f662ae13904b9f8 not occurring again [Regression Potential] * The fix is minimal, only replacing invalid characters with �. Regressions in u-u are unlikely but tools may break consuming unattended-upgrades output in case they can't handle the replacement marker.
