[Bug 1172740] Re: Quantal->Raring: UnicodeDecodeError: in NotEnoughFreeSpaceError

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Marius, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-release-upgrader into trusty-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/ubuntu-release-upgrader/1:0.220.4 in a few hours, and then in the
-proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  # apt-get install ubuntu-release-upgrader language-pack-ru vim-tiny
  # export LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8
  # export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  # export LANGUAGE=en_US
  # do-release-upgrade
  ctrl-c
  # cd /tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-*
  # vi DistUpgradeCache.py in line 1139 go from 50 to 5000000
  # ./dist-upgrade.py

  Observe a Traceback ending with a UnicodeDecodeError in _checkFreeSpace()
  To test the package in -proposed you'll need to use do-release-upgrade -p and switch to the new ubuntu-release-upgrader-* directory and make the modifications there.
