[Bug 1572416] Re: do-release-upgrade crashes in Greek locale

[Steve Langasek]

I can confirm 2, and this is a bug in the translation.  Fixed in bzr.

I can also confirm 1, from the source.  Also fixed in bzr.

3, I'm not surprised if that's an issue.  I doubt we have a very robust
signal handler in place.  This seems unrelated to the main topic of the
bug report, however; feel free to file a new one.

Still looking at trying to reproduce 4.  But this may come down to a bit
flip error on your system, because I can't think of any other way that a
'λ' keypress would generate 0xcf instead of 0xce.

Title:
  do-release-upgrade crashes in Greek locale

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I tried `do-release-upgrade -d` on an up to date 14.04 system, with
  Greek locale=el_GR.UTF-8.

  I got notified that some packages are no longer supported by Canonical, and then I got this prompt:
  Continue [yN] λεπτομέρειες [λ]

  λεπτομέρειες means details.

  I tried pressing [λ] and I got the (hopefully attached) crash. If it's
  not attached, I also uploaded it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/15941779/.

  Then it restarted the upgrade process and it got to the same prompt. At that point, [λ] worked and showed me the no-longer supported packages,
  but y/n didn't work at all, so I couldn't continue.

  I pressed Ctrl+C to abort the upgrade process,
  but now `do-release-upgrade -d` tells me there's no new distribution available to upgrade to, possibly because it's checking my just-broken sources.list...
