[Bug 1572416] Re: do-release-upgrade crashes in Greek locale

[Brian Murray]

The logs indicate that the text view was being used:

2016-04-20 08:38:55,901 DEBUG Using 'DistUpgradeViewText' view

Looking at the translations for el we can see that 'y' and 'n' are not
translated.

1594 #: ../DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewText.py:209
1595 #: ../DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewText.py:247
1596 #: ../DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewText.py:254
1597 msgid "Continue [yN] "
1598 msgstr "Συνέχεια [yN] "

1644 #: ../DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewText.py:261
1645 msgid "Continue [Yn] "
1646 msgstr "Συνέχεια [Yn] "

So that answers part 2 at least.

Title:
  do-release-upgrade crashes in Greek locale

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I tried `do-release-upgrade -d` on an up to date 14.04 system, with
  Greek locale=el_GR.UTF-8.

  I got notified that some packages are no longer supported by Canonical, and then I got this prompt:
  Continue [yN] λεπτομέρειες [λ]

  λεπτομέρειες means details.

  I tried pressing [λ] and I got the (hopefully attached) crash. If it's
  not attached, I also uploaded it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/15941779/.

  Then it restarted the upgrade process and it got to the same prompt. At that point, [λ] worked and showed me the no-longer supported packages,
  but y/n didn't work at all, so I couldn't continue.

  I pressed Ctrl+C to abort the upgrade process,
  but now `do-release-upgrade -d` tells me there's no new distribution available to upgrade to, possibly because it's checking my just-broken sources.list...
