Description Balint Reczey 2014-05-23 20:04:18 UTC 
This bug has been reported against Ubuntu's meld package originally at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meld/+bug/1319793 .

zyga@silverblade:~$ meld checkbox/checkbox-support/checkbox_support/parsers/ Launchpad/checkbox-project/checkbox-legacy/checkbox-old/checkbox/parsers/
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 233626

  • File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/meld/task.py", line 110 in iteration 
    ret = next(task)
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/meld/dirdiff.py", line 829 in _search_recursively_iter 
    yield _(u"[%s] Done") % self.label_text
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 7: ordinal not in range(128) 

I managed to solve it by using patching the last line to read:
    yield _(u"[%s] Done").decode('UTF-8') % self.label_text
