Bug#1058918: apt-transport-s3: Fails when using IAM credentials

[Josh Goodall <joshua@roughtrade.net>]

Package: apt-transport-s3
Version: 2.1.0-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: joshua@roughtrade.net

Dear Maintainer,

During apt-get update when using default (IAM) credentials
on an EC2 instance, we get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/apt/methods/s3", line 639, in <module>
    method = S3_method(config)
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/apt/methods/s3", line 426, in __init__
    self.iam.get_credentials()
  File "/usr/lib/apt/methods/s3", line 234, in get_credentials
    str(self.iamrole, 'utf-8')))
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: decoding str is not supported

This is a known bug in upstream, fix available but not in release.
