[Bug 45549] kcm_serviceconfig crashes on german translation

[Jens]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde-guidance

On Dapper 6.06, i get the following error:
Pythonize constructor -- pid = 24316
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 8, in kcontrol_bridge_create_serviceconfig
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/serviceconfig.py", line 1455, in create_serviceconfig
    return SysVInitApp(parent, name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/serviceconfig.py", line 958, in __init__
    self.context.loadInfo()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/serviceconfig.py", line 578, in loadInfo
    newservice = self.newService(filename)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/serviceconfig.py", line 588, in newService
    return DebianService(self,file)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/serviceconfig.py", line 395, in __init__
    self.status = str(i18n("not running"))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe4' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)
error: *** runFunction failure
;

Replacing the umlaut "ä" with "ae" in guidance.po fixes the problem.

The python line causing the problem:
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/serviceconfig.py, line 395:
        self.status = str(i18n("not running"))

** Affects: kde-guidance (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
