thanks
Hello,
I was starting to get decently fed up with reportbug/querybts choking
on every second package, so I had a look... Here is a simple fix. I
checked that it works both with a latin-1 and an utf-8 locale. I believe
it just does the trick (I'm not a great python coder, let's face it).
However, as you don't really handle encoding of strings, you'll run
into the same problem another day. They best would be to convert the
strings into Unicode at the source (right after you download them from
the BTS). I can have a look into that and submit another patch if you wish.
Hope this helps, and I hope you'll fix that quickly, as it simply
makes reportbug/querybts mostly unsable on systems where the encoding
isn't the one from bugs.debian.org (I'm tempted to raise the severity
just for that).
Cheers,
Vincent
