Bug Description
I was upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10. After a while, I got the following exception:
File "/tmp/ubuntu-
os.
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface
Here's the full output:

Some more info: I was asked if I want to keep the old /etc/mime.types or replace it with a new version, then the process crashed.
I ran "sudo dpkg --configure -a" hoping to resume the process, and got asked the same question again, so I'm guessing that's the cause of the release upgrader crash.
