So, looking at the log, the problem is that the builder is using bzr 2.4.0 which is too old to include the fix for this issue. Likely it's being tickled because you have a file with a non-ascii filename in your package or created as part of your build script, avoiding that would be one workaround.

So, Launchpad using too old bzr version when want building the package
the PPA?
My local system the recipe works correct.
How can I possible prewenting this error? If not have solution, I will
be manual uploading the new version this package my testing PPA (oldest
time I used this method) until Launchpad not using the 2.5 or 2.5.1 bzr
release.

Hi yes, your last comment with the solution is the best way forward at present till the builders get upgraded.

Hy,

Many thanks your answer. How can possible future I notify when the builders get upgraded the required 2.5.x version? If have possibility to ensure when happened the upgrade, I will be listen this before I request an automatic build this package.
Until the upgrade is not happening, I manual upload the package version of this package my testing PPA.
After your last answer I will be marking solved this question, thank you every help.

This is no plan in place to do this in the coming months as the department which works on that are full with other areas to cover.
