[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#772606: src:python-tasklib: FTBFS due to UnicodeEncodeError during test

[Logan Rosen]

Package: src:python-tasklib
Version: 0.5.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Dear Maintainer,

python-tasklib currently FTBFS on amd64 (and presumably i386 as well) due to a UnicodeEncodeError during test_unicode_task of UnicodeTest:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_unicode_task (tasklib.tests.UnicodeTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/buildd/python-tasklib-0.5.0/tasklib/tests.py", line 86, in test_unicode_task
    self.tw.execute_command(['add', '\u2020\xe5\xdfk'])
  File "/tmp/buildd/python-tasklib-0.5.0/tasklib/task.py", line 311, in execute_command
    stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 859, in __init__
    restore_signals, start_new_session)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 1395, in _execute_child
    restore_signals, start_new_session, preexec_fn)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-2: ordinal not in range(128)

Reproduced this in a local amd64 pbuilder using unstable sources.

Thanks,
Logan Rosen
