[Bug 839143] Re: ubiquity crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in decode_ssid(): 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 15: ordinal not in range(128)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.8.0

---------------
ubiquity (2.8.0) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Fix SSID UTF-8 decoding, and replace any still-invalid characters with
    the Unicode replacement character just in case (LP: #839143).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Fetch geoname data asynchronously (LP: #837217).
  * Always start oem-config with LANG=en_US.UTF-8; this doesn't affect
    translations since we use debconf for those, but forces Qt to use UTF-8
    encoding for text fields (LP: #837042).
