Decoding error #21

Closed radix-aw closed 4 years ago

radix-aw commented 4 years ago

Hello. I am receiving the following error when trying to set a field in the control file:

deb-pkg-tools -p foo.deb -s "Version: 0.1"

The above is on Python 3.6.9. The following is on Python 2.7.10:

I've tried deb-pkg-tools 6.1 and 7.0.

Please disregard. It seems this functionality is not available in deb-pkg-tools.
