[Bug 831455] Re: ubiquity crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in check_hostname(): 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.7.19

---------------
ubiquity (2.7.19) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Properly handle unicode in calls to preseed (LP: #831455)
  * Properly handle unicode for device and mountpoints name (LP: #833813)
  * Port Ubiquity's accessibility indicator to gobject introspection
  * Fix a minor gobject introspection port issue (Gdk.CONTROL_MASK should
    be Gdk.ModifierType.CONTROL_MASK)
  * Fix ubi-timezone changed() function missing a parameter

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Adjust timezone tests for change in timezone changed() signature.
  * Mock ubiquity.misc.drop_privileges and ubiquity.misc.regain_privileges
    during test_face_selector_save_to.
  * Mock ubiquity.frontend.base.drop_privileges in GTK frontend tests to
    cope with 'from ubiquity.misc import drop_privileges' form.
  * Mock ubiquity.nm.wireless_hardware_present in GTK frontend tests, as it
    may not be able to talk to D-Bus.
