I verified this for trusty deployment with maas 1.7.0+bzr3299-0ubuntu3~trusty1 and curtin version was 0.1.0~bzr195-0ubuntu1~14.04.1~ppa0.
The steps to test this was to edit the root-tgz after uncompressing and extracting it, doing a chroot. I then did a sudo apt-get install deja- dup-backend-gvfs which also installed deja-dup and fonts-dejavu-core. The non-ascii characters were in description for deja-dup-backend-gvfs: Remote server support for Déjà Dup. After exiting, I then recreated the compressed tgz image from the modified files and copied the file to cached filename in /var/lib/maas/boot-resources/cache, and to root-tgz file in /var/lib/maas/boot- resources/current/ubuntu/amd64/generic/trusty/daily. Finally, I restarted tgt. I then deployed trusty through maas which worked. The 2nd test was to do a juju bootstrap which also passed. To make sure that I was dealing with the right image, I verified that the deja-up packages were installed on the deployed node. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1370249 Title: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 19027: ordinal not in range(128) (curtin can't handle non-ascii characters in dpkg --list output) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/curtin/+bug/1370249/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
