UTF8 problem with BitTornado in Ubuntu 7.04

[Christian Matschke <c_matschke@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I am a linux newbie, sort of. After upgrading from
Ubuntu 6.10 to 7.04, I suddenly experience a problem
with my bittorrent client (Bit Tornado) when there are
German umlauts in the torrent name. It doesn't start,
renaming the .torrent file sitting on my harddrive
doesn't help. The full error message I get is this:

BitTorrent T-0.3.17 (BitTornado)
OS: linux2
Python version: 2.5.1c1 (release25-maint, Apr 12 2007,
21:00:25) 
[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)]
wxWindows version: 2.6.3.2

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/btdownloadgui", line 476, in onInvoke
    apply(event.func, event.args, event.kwargs)
  File "/usr/bin/btdownloadgui", line 2026, in
onChooseFile
    self.onChooseFileDone(default, size)
  File "/usr/bin/btdownloadgui", line 2036, in
onChooseFileDone
    self.fileNameText.SetLabel('%s' % (lname))
  File

line 11070, in SetLabel
    return _core_.Control_SetLabel(*args, **kwargs)
  File "encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in
position 13-18: unsupported Unicode code range

Has anybody looked at this problem yet? I somehow
can't find my way around the Debian site (e.g. what is
the name of the "package" in my case?), that is why I
am sending this email. Is there help?

Best regards,

Christian
