Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade roundup 1.4.6 to version 1.4.8. But when I try to 
go to the web interface, I received an error message : 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/roundup/cgi/client.py",

    tmsg = unicode(tmsg, self._charset)

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 192-
194: invalid data

I don't know what to do and I didn't find anything about this on the 
net. I'm a novice in python, so, please explain clearly. :-)

Thanks!

I just reproduced this. It doesn't happen with English, but I could see
it with French, as well as German.

Thanks for your test! I've reinstalled everything from scratch (without 
upgrading) and I've always the same problem. :-( I didn't had the 
problem with version 1.4.6.

I'm working with client French (Belgium).

Just a question, since I'm doing a bit of work in the i18n area:
did you do a full install of roundup 1.4.8?

I get the same problems while trying to run 1.4.8 from sources with
an existing provious install.

Yes, I've installed the full version. It was the version that I've 
downloaded from the site of roundup. (sourceforge)

But I've the same problem without an upgrade from an older version.

When I use a browser with language english (in the preferences of these 
browser), I can go on the web interface of roundup.

Hopefully fixed in commits r4272 (german) and r4300 (french) -- there
was a mismatch of declared encoding and used encoding in these files:
the german translation had a commit-comment with a latin-1 umlaut while
the rest of the file is utf-8 matching the declaration. For french the
declaration was utf-8 while the whole file is in latin-1, I've corrected
the declaration.

Can somebody confirm that it's working now?

Thanks, but I'am a newbie : where can I find this patch and what must I 
do to install this?

OK, I've found the patch via the link! :-)

But I really don't know how to install the patch... :-(

You may want to try the new locale files (de.po and fr.po)
they can be downloaded directly from the code-repository at

https://svn.roundup-tracker.org/svnroot/roundup/roundup/trunk/locale/

install the de.po and fr.po files there into your source distribution of
the tracker and reinstall

OK, it works fine! Thanks a lot, Ralf!!!!!! :-)
