[Bug 857416] Re: software-center crashed with UnicodeDecodeError in get_install_warning_text(): 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)

 

I have verified using the French locale that version 5.0.3.1 of
software-center in oneiric-proposed fixes this issue for me (I used the
Adobe Flash installer per duplicate bug 871040 to check this).

Thanks!
