This is fixed at least since Gutsy (update-manager 0.81), as proposed by Gavrie, so marking as Fix released.
However, Dapper is maybe affected by a similar problem: daniel@base { /tmp/update-manager-0.42.2ubuntu22.2 } $ find . | xargs grep "def utf8" -A1 ./UpdateManager/Common/utils.py:def utf8(str): ./UpdateManager/Common/utils.py- return unicode(str, 'latin1').encode('utf-8') -- ./DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewGtk.py:def utf8(str): ./DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewGtk.py- return unicode(str, 'latin1').encode('utf-8')
