** Description changed:
+ [TEST CASE]
+ Unfortunately, there is currently not a convenient way to test this error
condition as it specifically requires an application in the for-purchase
archive to contain a unicode character in its name. Currently, no such
application is available. However, a unit test that reproduces the error and
verifies the fix directly is included in the source code for this version of
Software Center (see branch details below), and this has been run at build time.
+
+ It is still very useful to test for regressions as follows:
+ 1. Install and launch the version of software-center in precise-proposed.
+ 2. Click the down arrow next for "All Software" and select the "For Purchase"
entry.
+ 3. Navigate in the list and make sure that all of the titles are displayed
correctly. View the details view for various items and verify the titles there
as well.
+
+ [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
+ This is a fix that simply corrects a unicode decode error in a debug log
statement, so the risk of regression is negligible.

The esteemed davmor2 discovered a new UnicodeDecodeError while testing a
new app for the For Purchase section. This application appears to be the
first one we've deployed For Purchase that uses a unicode character in
its title, which explains why we have not seen this particular one
before.
The title of the associated application is "Linux Shell 01 - Manual
Práctico del Shell".
Further details from davmor2:
Bug Description:
A recent magazine came through with a unicode character in the title of the
application and USC/SCA combo was unable to handle it.
Version:
n/a
OS:
64bit Oneiric
USC Version:
5.0.4
Steps To Reproduce:
1. Goto myapps
2. Create an app with a unicode title
3. Myapps will publish this
4. USC will fail to download/install this
Expected Results:
I expect to be able to create an app and publish it. That or we need to
document that only non unicode characters may be applied to a title.
