productreleasefinder script failing to run

[Ursula Junque]

productreleasefinder, on nightly.sh, is failing very often recently. When it fails, shows the traceback found on the link, https://pastebin.canonical.com/8240/

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/sgmllib.py", line 334, in finish_endtag
    method = getattr(self, 'end_' + tag)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfb' in position 11: ordinal not in range(128)

Error in the data returned by the server, we should just skip those errors.

We will fix this after productreleases are connected to their milestones.

This is not high since there has been no pressure to get this fixed for months. This does look fixable when we work on automatic linking of source packages to projects in 2009.

I'm improving the importance to high. This bug is causing the productreleasefinder script to fail daily which makes the scripts failure notifications a lot less useful to the LOSAs. Curtis, do you agree?

On https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/private/launchpad-error-reports/Week-of-Mon-20090525/098491.html you can find example of where the initial traceback came from.
