Public bug reported: Steps:
1. Use a locale that has an LC_NUMBER with a no-breaking space (or some other non-ascii character) 2. Have too little space on one mount (for me it was /boot) 3. Can't do release upgrade to 14.04 (well, not getting any error message) I sent a patch upstream[0], but I don't know if it'll be accepted, and also, this won't really help unless the package is updated on the versions people upgrade from. [0] <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=750120> I suggest instead that you code around it in the trusty upgrade script. The offending line is the apt_pkg.size_to_str(). Instead of using that bare, you should prepend a `.decode('utf-8')` to it. I don't know where the code for that trusty tarball is held, so I don't have a patch. But I can do that if you tell me where. (should be a simple fix though). ------- Some relevant log lines (and traceback) from this discussion <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2217609> (more data there) 2014-04-18 08:44:07,527 DEBUG dir '/var/cache/apt/archives' needs '1085247820' of '<DistUpgrade.DistUpgradeCache.FreeSpace object at 0x991214c>' (1245708288.000000) 2014-04-18 08:44:07,527 DEBUG dir '/usr' needs '1768633344' of '<DistUpgrade.DistUpgradeCache.FreeSpace object at 0x991214c>' (160460468.000000) 2014-04-18 08:44:07,528 DEBUG dir '/usr' needs '52428800' of '<DistUpgrade.DistUpgradeCache.FreeSpace object at 0x991214c>' (-1608172876.000000) 2014-04-18 08:44:07,528 DEBUG dir '/boot' needs '47136438' of '<DistUpgrade.DistUpgradeCache.FreeSpace object at 0x991214c>' (-1660601676.000000) 2014-04-18 08:44:07,528 DEBUG dir '/tmp' needs '5242880' of '<DistUpgrade.DistUpgradeCache.FreeSpace object at 0x991214c>' (-1707738114.000000) 2014-04-18 08:44:07,529 DEBUG dir '/' needs '10485760' of '<DistUpgrade.DistUpgradeCache.FreeSpace object at 0x991214c>' (-1712980994.000000) 2014-04-18 08:44:07,529 DEBUG dir '/tmp' needs '0.0' of '<DistUpgrade.DistUpgradeCache.FreeSpace object at 0x991214c>' (-1723466754.000000) 2014-04-18 08:44:07,529 DEBUG dir '/usr' needs '0.0' of '<DistUpgrade.DistUpgradeCache.FreeSpace object at 0x991214c>' (-1723466754.000000) 2014-04-18 08:44:07,530 ERROR Not enough free space: ['/'] 2014-04-18 08:44:07,543 ERROR not handled exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/update-manager-WBPSvW/trusty", line 10, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/tmp/update-manager-WBPSvW/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeMain.py", line 243, in main if app.run(): File "/tmp/update-manager-WBPSvW/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py", line 1827, in run return self.fullUpgrade() File "/tmp/update-manager-WBPSvW/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py", line 1780, in fullUpgrade if not self.askDistUpgrade(): File "/tmp/update-manager-WBPSvW/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py", line 988, in askDistUpgrade if not self._checkFreeSpace(): File "/tmp/update-manager-WBPSvW/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py", line 965, in _checkFreeSpace required.dir)) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128) ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: dist-upgrade ** Tags added: dist-upgrade -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325418 Title: UnicodeDecodeError in checkFreeSpace on 13.10=>14.04 upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1325418/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
