[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)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.10.2

---------------
ubiquity (2.10.2) precise; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix test_misc.GrubDefaultTests.test_avoid_cdrom.
  * Invert the set of locale categories set in case of a language/location
    conflict, so we now set LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY, LC_PAPER,
    LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS, LC_TELEPHONE, LC_MEASUREMENT, and LC_IDENTIFICATION
    instead (LP: #926207).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: localechooser 2.39ubuntu2.

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * UTF-8-encode debug messages which are written to stderr (LP: #960278)
