Thu Oct 17 18:53:28 UTC 2013

Public bug reported:

Application crashes with the following stacktrace:

Error in sys.excepthook:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-6agiri/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewText.py", line 107, in _handleException
    "\n".join(lines))
  File "/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-6agiri/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewText.py", line 141, in error

    print(twrap(summary))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-8: ordinal not in range(128)

Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-6agiri/saucy", line 10, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-6agiri/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeMain.py", line 230, in main
    app = DistUpgradeController(view, options, datadir=options.datadir)
  File "/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-6agiri/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py", line 126, in __init__
    self._view.updateStatus(_("Reading cache"))
  File "/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-6agiri/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewText.py", line 121, in updateStatus
    print(msg)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-5: ordinal not in range(128)

When I start do-release-upgrade with LC_ALL=C all works fine.

My locale is:
