[Bug 845298] Re: software-center-gtk3 crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in warning(): 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

[Robert Roth]

@mpt: an example package I have used for reproducing UnicodeDecodeError
is the Love framework (apt:love). I see this trace is about a deb file,
but I guess it's easy to find a deb file for Love somewhere (maybe even
newer then the one the user is using). Anyway, Love is the best sample
for similar bugs, as the second character is non-ascii.
