Title:
  aptd crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in _emit_acquire_item(): 'ascii'
  codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “aptdaemon” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Regression introduced in the previous SRU because a format string is now a unicode while one of the arguments is still a string.  This generally causes aptd to crash for all users who are running in a locale where either their language name or the name of the English language contains non-ASCII characters.

  [Test case]
  1. Using gnome-language-selector, install the Russian langpack and make it the system default.
  2. Install aptdaemon from precise-proposed.
  3. Run update-manager and choose "Update" (listed as "Проверить")
  4. Verify that aptdaemon does not crash, and the package lists are updated successfully from the 

  [Regression potential]
  Minimal.  The patch includes a test case, which has been manually run to verify it succeeds and there are no other regressions in the test suite (the test suite is not run at build time in precise).  This is a fix for a regression introduced in a previous -proposed upload, and the bug can be considered resolved as soon as the problem is confirmed to be addressed in precise-proposed.

  just crashed, don't know why, lol.
