[Bug 1132918] Re: Ubiquity crashes with UnicodeDecodeError in apt_pkg.size_to_str

[Julian Andres Klode]

We could fix it in that direction due to PyUnicode_DecodeLocale, but
there's nothing we can do for encoding Python strings to the system's
locale without a memory leak, so it does not make a lot of sense to
support only one direction.
