hi peoples, I'm also having a lot of the self tests failing  (on bzr.dev), it doesn't seem like other people have the tests failing. I don't have time to investigate now, but if some of these tests are yours, this might help fixing/disabling them. It looks like the problems are in the following categories: * UnicodeEncodeError/InvalidURL not raised * TestCommandEncoding regards marius ===== bzr.dev$ ./bzr selftest        bzr:
