crash on unicode decode error

[Zygmunt Krynicki]

autopackagetest crashed for me while working on the update to the twine package:

13:53 < pitti> zyga: is that anything secret? if not, perhaps you could just attach the .debs to the bug (or give
               a pointer to them)
13:54 < zyga> pitti: no, nothing secret at all, just work-in-progress
13:54 < zyga> pitti: oh and that package doesn't have autopkgtests either, it's just a part of my standard
              .sbuildrc run

Indeed there's nothing special about that twine.deb. I can run "adt-run /tmp/twine_1.5.0-1_all.deb -B ~/ubuntu/tmp/testpkg// --- schroot sid" just fine here.

I do get this crash if I run adt-run under the C locale, though. The package description indeed contains an unicode character ("you’ve", it's not the ASCII apostrophe but a fancy one).

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 3.12

---------------
autopkgtest (3.12) unstable; urgency=medium

  * ssh-setup/adb: Re-enable ssh after reboot, in case an upgrade disables it.
  * ssh-setup/adb: Try to create /userdata/.adb_onlock, to get adb after
    rebooting without human interaction.
  * Fix apt-get install --simulate version parsing with third-party sources.
    (LP: #1430017)
  * ssh-setup-nova: Add --security-groups option. (LP: #1429862)
  * adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud: Avoid non-blocking reads from the socket in
    verbose mode, this sometimes causes hangs. Go back to blocking reads, but
    don't wait between them.
  * Fix UnicodeDecodeError on .deb package name reading. (LP: #1430773)
  * adt-virt-ssh: Export $SUDO_ASKPASS to tests if sudo is available.
    (LP: #1431421)
