[Bug 1071183] [NEW] Software properties is unable to modify sources with non-ASCII characters in comment

[Andrzej Mendel]

Public bug reported:

During update to Quantal all non-Ubuntu APT sources have been disabled
and commented with "wyłączony podczas aktualizacji do quantal". This
causes software-properties to fail to modify those sources. When I click
on the checkbox to re-enable one of them, an authentication window pops-
up but after typing my password nothing happens. Removing non-ASCII
characters fixes this for given source. I've checked and both Polish,
Swedish and Ukrainian (cyrylics) non-ASCII characters cause this bug.
