[Bug 868834] Re: software-center crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in _update_pkg_info_table(): 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
