[Bug 1071388] [NEW] UnicodeDecodeError in askYesNoQuestion of DistUpgradeViewText.py

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

In bug 1068389 a user thought they were experiencing the same bug as
that one but it was in fact different.  Their comment follows:

I jist run "do-release-upgrade" and wait until i see

Чтение временных файлов

Проверка менеджера пакетов

Продолжить работу через SSH?

Этот сеанс запущен через ssh. Не рекомендуется выполнять обновление
через ssh, так как в случае неудачи восстановление будет очень
сложным.

Если вы продолжите, дополнительная служба ssh будет запущена на порту
«1022».
Хотите ли вы продолжить?

Продолжить [дН]

and after that I enter letter "д" and it give me error:

Произошла критическая ошибка

Пожалуйста, сообщите об этой ошибке и включите файлы
/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log и /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log в ваш
отчёт. Обновление было отменено.

/etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade.
