      Description

      If the file name contains a utf8 character, then drift correction
      fails on ubuntu 1604 and windows (2012r2 and 2016).

      To see for yourself:

      Run puppet apply with this manifest to create a file with
      a utf8 non ascii character in its name.

      manifest_file_utf8_title.pp:

      file { "/tmp/file_utf8_title_€" :
      		 
        ensure => file,
      		 
        mode => "0644",
      		 
        content => "This is the file content.
      		 
      ",
      		 
      }

      (The windows version of this manifest names the file
      "C:/cygwin64/tmp/file_utf8_title_€")

      Change the file (drift).

      Run puppet apply again to correct the drift.

      See this error.
