Title:
  Accents in sources.list breaks do-release-upgrade

Status in “python-apt” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “python-apt” source package in Quantal:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
  Release:	12.04

  update-manager:
    Installed: 1:0.156.14.9

  In my sources.list I had some lines with an accent ("í" in "Víctor"),
  like this one:

  deb https://XXXX@private-ppa.launchpad.net/XXX precise main #Personal
  access of Víctor R. Ruiz (vrruiz)

  Doing an "upgrade-manager -d" and clicking for upgrade to Quantal (do-
  release-upgrade), I repeatedly got this error:

  WARNING: Failed to read mirror file
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/tmp/update-manager-ir3uWg/quantal", line 10, in <module>

  Error in sys.excepthook:

  Original exception was:

      sys.exit(main())
    File "/tmp/update-manager-ir3uWg/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeMain.py", line 235, in main

      entry.comment += " " + _("disabled on upgrade to %s") % self.toDist
  UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 20: ordinal not in range(128)

  The error was gone when I modified sources.list and replaced the
  accent with an ASCII character ("í" -> "i").
