Re: [S3tools-bugs] Error message during test run (s3mysqlbackup)

[Matt D. <ma...@do...>]

1) what does your LANG= environment variable have in it?  You could do
LANG= $(date +"...") to not use a locale when generating the date string.
2) you could use a date format string that doesn't include unicode
characters.  That would clearly allow it to succeed.
3) 1.0.1 is very old, please try with the upstream master branch at
github.com/s3tools/s3cmd.

There's clearly a bug in 1.0.0 with respect to unicode file names in the
put operation.  Looking at the code, we may still have a problem in the put
operation, even in current upstream.  You might also try using 'sync'
instead of 'put' - that codepath is more clear of unicode failures.

Thanks,
Matt
