Bug description:
  Hi, guys!

  When I use the terminal command update-manager to start the update
  manager, everything is A-OK until I click "Install Updates." Then this
  shows up in the terminal:

  justin at justin-msi:~$ update-manager
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/defer/__init__.py", line 472, in _inline_callbacks

      code = normalize(localename)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 358, in normalize
      fullname = localename.translate(_ascii_lower_map)
  TypeError: character mapping must return integer, None or unicode

  I have no idea what any of this mean.
