[Bug 1212025] Re: Upgrading to Saucy crashes with a unicode error

[Yotam Benshalom]

The crash still occurs after deleting all the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and restarting.
I guess that somehow, one of the automatic system tools inserted a translated Hebrew string somewhere and the current upgrader can't handle it.
