[Bug 980020] Re: kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade fails when LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
I was amazed that this bug is still there for 6+ years. On Kubuntu 17.10 I also got the broken text from kdesudo when lang is ko_KR, and I think kdesudo is assuming current terminal charset is latin1: $ do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE 새 우분투 배포판 확인 새로운 릴리즈를 찾을 수 없습니다. $ kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE" ì ì°ë¶í¬ ë°°í¬í íì¸ ìë¡ì´ 릴리ì¦ë¥¼ ì°¾ì ì ììµëë¤. $ kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE" | iconv -t latin1 | iconv -f utf8 새 우분투 배포판 확인 새로운 릴리즈를 찾을 수 없습니다.

probably my testcase for printing unicode with python (which I took from a stackoverflow question) was not correct This would be better: $ echo 'print "m\xc3\xbcde"' tmp2.py $ python tmp2.py müde $ kdesudo python tmp2.py müde # garbage but no error so I guess kdesudo changes something in the environment that makes do- release-upgrade produce bad output -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980020 Title: kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade fails when LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdesudo/+bug/980020/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've reassigned this to kdesudo - thanks for the detailed testing Ernst. ** Package changed: update-manager (Ubuntu) => kdesudo (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980020 Title: kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade fails when LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdesudo/+bug/980020/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 980020] Re: kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade fails when LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
The problem is not with update-manager, but with kdesudo (oneiric)! /usr/bin/kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade just executes kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f kde -d" Calling just "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f kde -d" works fine, and you see the first console output line with a german umlaut. Run with kdesudo, kdesudo has to read that output from do-release- upgrade and echo it to the console. That fails. This reasoning can be proved by doing a simple experiment (all in an environment with LANG=de_DE.UTF8) $echo 'print u"Gl\xfcck"' > tmp.py $python tmp.py # OK Glück $kdesudo python tmp.py # fails with UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 2: ordinal not in range(128) @Brian: what is the best way to proceed? - reassign this bug to kdesudo?
