Running this command can reproduce the problem: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US:en LC_ALL=C software-center
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not (i.e. if LC_ALL=C is a reasonable thing to expect to still work right). Moving to software-center. ** Package changed: deja-dup (Ubuntu) => software-center (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817203 Title: deja dup description starts with d?j? dup Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On Oneiric, both in Software center and Update manager's description tab the deja dup description starts with "D?j? Dup is a simple backup tool". This does not happen on Natty, the name is displayed fine there, so marking this with regression-release.
