I'm not sure this is actually a bug to be fixed. LC_ALL=C means that LC_CTYPE is also set to C; that's a declaration that you only want ascii output, but the language setting asks the application to use the German translation if available - which it obviously is, and evidently contains non-ascii characters.
So while we could fix the code to avoid a backtrace, none of the available options seem more correct. Outputting the text in UTF-8 means ignoring the locale setting; dropping the non-ascii characters means a garbled translation. Daniel, is this really an issue specific to do-release-upgrade? Does other command-line software generally get translated correctly for you with these settings? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/929399 Title: do-release-upgrade crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in __main__: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 36: ordinal not in range(128) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/929399/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
