That is a stupid bug introduced by me ('%' has higher priority than
'+'). I fixed this in the repository now. Sorry.
However, this happens only if there is a unicode error -- I think this
is the last appeareance of UnicodeError. I will check why the
UnicodeError actually appears here in debian-med. I would guess that
this is an encoding problem in one of the DebianMed tasks.

So this is still not implemented in blendstasktools_udd.py?

SQL is just a difficult beast, especially for non-daily users. Having
the information available as JSON as well would make it much easier to
develop customized frontends.
And, offering the information of our blends pages also as JSON would IMO
help *us* to separate the data model from the presentation; in the
moment they are somehow mixed a bit.
