[Bug 911144] Re: apturl-gtk crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in parseArgs(): 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe3 in position 18: ordinal not in range(128)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apturl - 0.5.1ubuntu3

---------------
apturl (0.5.1ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low

  * Take the unicode representation of the parser error message instead
    of the string representation, so that we get clean i18n handling.
    LP: #911144.
