Possible unicode issue: Ubuntu Software Center displays "Internal Error" when opening Debian package with Chinese path.

[Ｖ字龍(Vdragon)]

Reproduce steps:
1.place any Debian software package in a folder which name including some Chinese String (you may just copy following random Chinese String or use your own)
/path/to/the/package/雖然是錯誤的，不過好像/*.deb
了 @_@～直到今
要設定的越來越簡單
另外，圖片內文

2.Open it using Ubuntu Software Center
3.If 2. normal, then open "another package in a path with Chinese Character".
4.I don't think there is 4 needed...

Hi, and thanks for your report. I cannot reproduce this issue using the latest version of Ubuntu Software Center in Precise, version 5.2.3.

Would you please retry with this latest version and let us know if it's working for you now?

Many thanks for your help!

Hi,
  I think I found how to reproduce this issue more accurately, it seems that Software Center can't handle Chinese character path.

Hi again, and thank you for the additional info. So that we can try to gather more information to help us to debug this issue, could you please try running Software Center in debug mode from a terminal window as follows:

  $ software-center --debug 2> /tmp/software-center-debug.log

Then follow the steps to reproduce the issue, and then attach the file /tmp/software-center-debug.log to this bug report.

Thanks again! Your help is much appreciated!

@Gary Lasker
Here you are.

Hi again, and thank you for your report. Unfortunately, I don't see anything in your log that indicates the error. Were you actually able to reproduce the exact error at the time that you made the attached log file?

Just as a test, and a possible workaround, could you try installing your debs with gdebi? Thanks again!

Gary,
I can't grep any useful message too, but I really reproduced the same (or at least in my standpoint, same) internal error when logging.
Gdebi works normally (since I set it to default due to this bug XD)

I think it will be useful if you try it yourself (using any Debian package placed in a folder name which you can copy from my example from #3) and open it.

I'll modify the description to match current status.
