This isn't a bug in system-image; I've been seeing this traceback in
other contexts but now that this has been reported here I'll have to dig
into it in more detail.  FTR, I found it while working on dirtbike, the
test suite of which manipulates packages in a chroot.  What I discovered
there is that the chroot had POSIX locale and an .egg-info file was
being parsed that contained non-ascii characters (latin-1 in a person's
name).  I worked around this by ensuring the chroot had en_US.UTF-8
locale.

Something's changed though since this is a new bug affecting multiple
packages.  For now I'm going to retarget it to setuptools
(pkg_resources) and will investigate further.

** Also affects: python-setuptools (Ubuntu)
