[Bug 791839] Re: bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte ..ordinal not in range

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 715547 ***

please re-read my description: it doesn't impact me when i'm logged in, it impacts etckeeper which is a *cron* job, running as root, i.e. with the default/limited env.
And it's a regression on oneiric, that very same box was running natty before (and maveric and lucid even before) without any etckeeper/bzr problem.
