Subdownloader: LookupError: unknown encoding: utf_8_valencia

[Pau Iranzo]

My system locale is at this moment ca_ES@valencia and Subdownloader crash on startup because it doesn't recognize the locale. Actually, this is a variation of the ca_ES locale. The messages when I try to start it up are these:

pau@xps-karmic64:~$ subdownloader

Hi,

The bug still persist with the version 2.0.17. The error seems to be the same:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I check and realized that the bug touch kaa-metadata in general, and not subdownloader its self.
