[Reportbug-maint] Bug#596295: reportbug: fails with 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 32: ordinal not in range(128)

[Raphael Hertzog]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.6
Severity: important

On a freshly installed squeeze system, trying to "reportbug
courier-imap-ssl" I get this after having scanned all the bugs:
(138-177/177) Is the bug you found listed above [y|N|b|m|r|q|s|f|?]? n
Maintainer for courier-imap-ssl is 'Stefan Hornburg (Racke) <racke at linuxia.de>'.
Looking up dependencies of courier-imap-ssl...
Getting changed configuration files...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2098, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1045, in main
    return iface.user_interface()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1733, in user_interface
    conftext = conftext + u'%s %s\n' % (f, confinfo[f])
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 32: ordinal not in range(128)

I have no idea why this happens... but it makes reportbug rather less useful.

That's all (and no .reportbugrc).

Cheers,
