[Bug 960278] Re: ubiquity crashed with UnicodeEncodeError in debug(): 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 55: ordinal not in range(128)

[Brian Murray]

Looking at your debug log file:

debconf (developer): <-- METAGET keyboard-configuration/variant choices-c
debconf (developer): --> 1 Arménien, Arménien - Arménien (occidentale), Arménien - Arménien (orientale), Arménien - Arménien (phonétique), Arménien - Arménien (variante\\, orientale), Arménien - Arménien (variante\\, phonétique)
debconf (developer): <-- GET keyboard-configuration/variant
debconf (developer): --> 1 Arménien
debconf (developer): <-- GET keyboard-configuration/modelcode
debconf (developer): --> 1 pc105
Exception in GTK frontend (invoking crash handler):

It seems to have crashed after clicking on Arménien.  Yesterday, I was
able to make it crash by choosing Cingalais but today I no longer can.
