[Bug 929399] Re: do-release-upgrade crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in __main__: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 36: ordinal not in range(128)

Yes I ran the command without an issue.  I was just wondering if you had run it while there was an update in progress with the update-manager.  If thats the case I will try running the command again while an update is going.
