[Bug 1310053] Re: 13.10 to 14.04 upgrade: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xab' in position 13: ordinal not in range(128) Logged from file DistUpgradeCache.py, line 661 in apt.log

Well I can confirm that line 661 was the one that tried to log error, but changing 
logging.error("Dist-upgrade failed: '%s'", e)
to 
logging.error("Dist-upgrade failed: '%s'", unicode(e))

only results in correctly printing 'Dist-upgrade' failed error to log
file:

2014-04-22 20:06:46,539 DEBUG The package 'update-manager-kde' is marked for removal but it's in the removal blacklist
2014-04-22 20:06:49,343 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'Pakiet "update-manager-kde" jest oznaczony do usunięcia, lecz znajduje się na liście pakietów, których nie należy usuwać.'
2014-04-22 20:06:49,345 DEBUG abort called

and does NOT fix the root cause.  (Meaning that this change only adds
one line to logfile).
