Public bug reported:

For a couple of weeks, my weekly backup (deja-dup+duplicity, ubuntu
18.04) fails with:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1555, in <module>

    return ufn(unicode(e).encode('utf-8'))
 UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 19: 
ordinal not in range(128)

It looks like this Unicode error repeatedly arises, whatever the version of 
duplicity. Mine is:

If this is a problem with some files encoding, how can I locate which
