Dear Maintainer,

This bug is filed upstream at
https://eucalyptus.atlassian.net/browse/TOOLS-407 , and in Ubuntu at 
http://pad.lv/1266898 .
I'm uploading an ubuntu patch for the time being.

euca-get-console-output fails if output is not to a console with:
  euca-get-console-output: error: decode() argument 1 must be string, not None

$ dpkg-query --show euca2ools

$ IID=i-36874418
$ euca-get-console-output --region=us-east-1 $IID > /tmp/out

None
$ echo $?
1

$ euca-get-console-output --region=us-east-1 $IID
