[Bug 1289310] Re: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe4' in position 13: ordinal not in range(128)

[Ivan Larionov]

Ok I tired of waiting maintainers to fix and found a bug and fixed it.
Patch attached.

This bug caused by mount returns warning to STDERR when mounting read-
only without -r flag. Example:

$ sudo mount -o loop /home/xeron/Загрузки/trusty-desktop-amd64.iso /tmp/tmp1c7s4pag
mount: блочное устройство /home/xeron/Загрузки/trusty-desktop-amd64.iso защищен от записи, монтируется только для чтения

In english:

$ LC_ALL=en_EN.UTF-8 sudo mount -o loop /home/xeron/Загрузки/trusty-desktop-amd64.iso /tmp/tmp1c7s4pag
mount: block device /home/xeron/Загрузки/trusty-desktop-amd64.iso is write-protected, mounting read-only
