print(msg)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xfc' in position 21: ordinal not in range(128)



The same does not happen if I set LANG=en before calling do-release-
upgrade

Since the upgrade is running, I'm not able to provide the full
information about versions.

This was on Ubuntu 14.04 from here:
http://www.armhf.com/boards/beaglebone-black/bbb-sd-install

ubuntu-release-upgrader-core was most likely 1:0.220.2
