[Bug 1551285] Re: ubiquity crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in decode(): 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 8782: ordinal not in range(128)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.21.57

---------------
ubiquity (2.21.57) xenial; urgency=medium

  [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
  * Automatic update of included source packages: localechooser
    2.65ubuntu4. (LP: #1551285)
  * scripts/simple-plugins: better handle passing the MokPW key to mokutil
    and the result from the command -- we explicitly can ignore errors here.
    (LP: #1567445)
  * plugin-viewer-gtk.py: fix plugin-viewer-gtk to allow showing most plugins
    correctly; useful for debugging.
  * ubiquity/plugins/ubi-prepare.py: rework password validation behavior for
    MokPW without changing user-visible strings: we only need to show feedback
    for a "good" password (of the allowable lengths), and correct the behavior
    for mismatched passwords. Also make it obvious if the chosen password is
    too short. (LP: #1560940)

  [ Shih-Yuan Lee (FourDollars) ]
  * Really make oem-config-prepare quiet when started by a non-priviledged
    user.
