OK, I did some research and debugging, and it seems that this bug is related to Unicode issues encountered here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/quickly/+bug/444070 The issues I encountered can be fixed by replacing quicklyutils.set_setup_value('author', launchpad.me.display_name) with quicklyutils.set_setup_value('author', launchpad.me.display_name.encode('UTF-8')) in /usr/share/quickly/templates/ubuntu-project/release.py and /usr/share/quickly/templates/ubuntu-project/share.py This still needs checking and confirming as I'm now encountering a different bug (probably unrelated, but still...) when trying to run share or relese. ** Also affects: quickly Importance: Undecided Status: New -- "quickly release" fails if there is non-ascii character in launchpad name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/473542 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
