Michael already did all the hard work of figuring out a patch. I reviewed it and suggested he send it upstream, which he did, and got further comments from the upstream maintainer. Michael posted an updated patch to the upstream issue. I think it is worth fixing for Quantal, although IIRC, Michael has a workaround for software-center. In any case, since you targeted the bug task to quantal-updates, I'll prepare a patch for quantal-proposed (testing it now). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/846044 Title: software-center crashed with UnicodeEncodeError in get_dbus_message(): 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 65: ordinal not in range(128) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+bug/846044/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
