[Bug 1336318] [NEW] UnicodeDecodeError in software-properties-common

[Stijn Maller]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 I noticed that I couldn't open the
"Additional Drivers" and the "Software Sources" windows anymore. Trying
to start them from the commandline gives the following output:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/7731727/

I found a similar bug here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1053749

But in my case none of the files listed there seem to contain an invalid
character.
