Package: reportbug Version: 3.33 Followup-For: Bug #398904 This bug happens when generated bug report information countains non-latin characters. For example, reporting bug for xserver-xorg caused such behavior because debconf information was included. Debconf has generated a Russian name for my display and my videocard and when reportbug tryed to include this, it finished up with this UnicodeDecodeError.
I wonder why Python tries to convert this to Unicode from ASCII, while I use the ru_RU.UTF-8 locale. It is obvious that all the Russian characters in my case are already in UTF-8, that is they are two-byte long beginning with 0xd0. And that is why I got following message: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 604: ordinal not in range(128) I guess now it is no problem for those who knows Python to fix the problem, so I'm going to kill "moreinfo" tag. -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: INTERFACE="text" ** /home/dmitrmax/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "3.31" mode advanced ui text email "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" smtphost "smtp.wplus.net" -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-xen-686 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.5.12 register and build utility for Pyt reportbug recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
