Description

When running collectstatic and one of the file is not encoded in UTF-8, the post_process method raises:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 41998: invalid start byte without any clue about the wrong file. It would be nice to report which file produced the error.
