Public bug reported:

When running `do-release-upgrade -d` to upgrade a machine that had
quantal Ubuntu core installed, it failed at several stages. Much of this
is likely fallout from lacking packages that the desktop environment
includes by default, or other configuration that is normally done during
the initial installation.

* python-apt is required but not given as a dependency
* code for determining ENCODING uses getdefaultlocale (and gets None with C) 
rather than getpreferredencoding

Using `LANG=C.UTF-8` works around the issue that locales have not been
set up in the normal fashion.
