Bug Description
for dist upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to the next "normal" release, when I make a do-release-upgrade -d, I get this error :
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xae in position
337: invalid start byte
I have cleaned all the files in /etc/apt/
but no change in order to remove all unencoded characters like accent etc...
# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Release: 14.04
