Title:
  computer-janitor crashed with UnicodeEncodeError in _print_message()

Status in “computer-janitor” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: computer-janitor

  I just ran:

  $ computer-janitor -h

  Traceback (most recent call last):

      file.write(message)
  UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0103' in position 498: ordinal not in range(128)


  However, not suplying "-h" leads to:

  $ computer-janitor 
  usage: computer-janitor [-h] [--version] {ignore,unignore,find,clean} ...
  computer-janitor: error: too few arguments
