Title:
  UnicodeDecodeError in add_repo_add_key_and_install_app when a appname
  has special chars in it

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in software-center source package in Oneiric:
  Won't Fix
Status in software-center source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [TEST CASE]
  Unfortunately, there is currently not a convenient way to test this error condition as it specifically requires an application in the for-purchase archive to contain a unicode character in its name. Currently, no such application is available. However, a unit test that reproduces the error and verifies the fix directly is included in the source code for this version of Software Center (see branch details below), and this has been run at build time.

  It is still very useful to test for regressions as follows:
  1. Install and launch the version of software-center in precise-proposed.
  2. Click the down arrow next for "All Software" and select the "For Purchase" entry.
  3. Navigate in the list and make sure that all of the titles are displayed correctly. View the details view for various items and verify the titles there as well.

  [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
  This is a fix that simply corrects a unicode decode error in a debug log statement, so the risk of regression is negligible.

  The esteemed davmor2 discovered a new UnicodeDecodeError while testing
  a new app for the For Purchase section. This application appears to be
  the first one we've deployed For Purchase that uses a unicode
  character in its title, which explains why we have not seen this
  particular one before.

  The title of the associated application is "Linux Shell 01 - Manual
  Práctico del Shell".

  Further details from davmor2:

  Bug Description:
  A recent magazine came through with a unicode character in the title of the application and USC/SCA combo was unable to handle it.

  Version:
  n/a

  OS:
  64bit Oneiric

  USC Version:
  5.0.4

  Steps To Reproduce:
  1. Goto myapps
  2. Create an app with a unicode title
  3. Myapps will publish this
  4. USC will fail to download/install this

  Expected Results:
  I expect to be able to create an app and publish it. That or we need to document that only non unicode characters may be applied to a title.
