"Install packages" button insensitive

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)

And there's basically same thing on line 422. If "requested by" is localised in UTF-8, the exception in thrown.

Probably the similar thing as in bug #947502

It's actually not plain localisation that causes this, but some other kind of conflict of encodings. It seems to me that this is not the only place this problem occurs, so maybe it needs some broader knowledge of lubuntu-software-center code to fix it properly.
