[Bug 1069019] Re: [software-properties-gtk] can not delete, enable or modify any software source with non-ASCII characters in the comment

[Steve Langasek]

Interestingly, I can reproduce this; but when I tried to debug it (by
running python3 /usr/lib/software-properties/software-properties-dbus
manually from a root shell and watching its output), the bug was no
longer reproducible.  This pointed to a problem specific to the process
environment - and indeed, if I run software-properties-dbus with LANG=C,
I get the following error (repeatedly):

WARNING:root:could not open file '/etc/apt/sources.list'

This points to a bug in aptsources.sourceslist.SourcesList.load(), which
is using the default encoding (ascii) when opening the file for reading.

** Package changed: software-properties (Ubuntu Saucy) => python-apt
