Thanks Jibel and Brian - I can only reproduce this if I do not have "language-pack-fr" installed on precise. If that is the case, then the command output is: $ python -c 'import sys;print(sys.getfilesystemencoding())' ANSI_X3.4-1968
and that leads python to fail with the above stacktrace. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309447 Title: Unicode decode error during upgrade to 14.04 if sources.list contains non-ascii characters and locale is non-US To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-clone/+bug/1309447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
