[Bug 1551285] Re: ubiquity crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in decode(): 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 8782: ordinal not in range(128)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package localechooser - 2.65ubuntu4

---------------
localechooser (2.65ubuntu4) xenial; urgency=medium

  * localechooser: Use grep -a to make sure grep sees our language list data
    as ASCII and not random binary since it contains some glyphs for language
    name translations. Fixes at least one crash in Ubiquity. (LP: #1551285)
