UnicodeEncodeError

[atanasterziyski]

I am happily using attic 0.13 mostly on FreeBSD systems, however these days I found a weird problem while extracting files (see below). Seems attic cannot extract filenames in Cyrillic, but still no problems with creating or checking the repository with such files. Any clue in which direction I should solve the problem... or at leas temporal workaround?

Traceback (most recent call last):

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

this solved the problem, all credits go to Vedrin :)
