UnicodeDecodeError ao iniciar o Gramps

Question

Hoje tentei iniciar o Gramps, mas ele falha com UnicodeDecodeError e sai:

$ gramps
2017-02-18 19:09:05.715: ERROR: grampsgui.py: line 384: 
Gramps failed to start. Please report a bug about this.
This could be because of an error in a (third party) View on startup.
To use another view, don't load a Family Tree, change view, and then load your Family Tree.
You can also change manually the startup view in the gramps.ini file 
by changing the last-view parameter.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

Eu tentei executá-lo com outro valor como variável de ambiente LANGUAGE , mas não funciona.

A versão do Gramps é 4.0.4-1, o Python 2.7.6, o Ubuntu 14.04.

Eu não posso fazer um backup porque a GUI não carrega e a criação do backup via console falha com o mesmo erro, então não quero arriscar fazer uma atualização sem ter um backup adequado.

O que posso fazer para executar o Gramps ou, pelo menos, diagnosticar o problema?
