do-release-upgrade doesnt backup or commit existing sources.list

[ghostcube]

Hello,

i updated from a completely and fresh updated saucy to trusty latest beta yesterday evening,
by doing "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" inside tty2

everything worked well so far except the fact, that the old sources.list wasent kept back or backuped.

in past release upgrade processes the sources.list was checked and then commited with not used repositories,
but this isnt done this time for me.

as i checked some logs i found this

http://pastie.org/9074749

anything else i can check so far?

i think this shouldnt happen.

The error from your pastebin was:

(please include error messages directly in Launchpad reports instead of linking to pastebins that may or may not keep this information around for the lifetime of the bug.)

Can you attach your /etc/apt/sources.list? I haven't seen this failure, but it's in line with other problems we've had before regarding encoding handling in do-release-upgrader and friends. also, could you show the output of 'locale' on your console?

Could you please include the version of the release-upgrader that you were using? You can find it in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and the line will look like:

2014-01-31 09:04:00,746 INFO release-upgrader version '0.210' started

here is the info you wanted
