I thought being hit by this bug while having the same 'ascii' codec error message traing to restore a succesfully backed up file with accented characters in it's name. However it proved to be a locale related problem I discovered while chasing an apparently unrelated issue of having English menu items instead of French ones in another package (found in http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/cinelerra). For me the following actions solved the duplicity file naming issue: 1. Add the following line in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local : fr_CH.UTF-8 UTF-8 2. Reconfigure the locales sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Now th subject file is successfully restored. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1356548 Title: Duplicity restore fails with UTF-8 chars in --file-to-restore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1356548/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
