Description
Hi,
The unicode merge broke Trac with python2.3, due to a bug in python2.3's locale module. This shows up as:
ilinger@lith:~/trac-db-testing$ sudo trac-admin /usr/local/foo Welcome to trac-admin 0.10dev Interactive Trac administration console. Copyright © 2003-2006 Edgewall Software
Type: '?' or 'help' for help on commands.
Trac usr/local/foo> component list
Command failed: unknown encoding: en_gb
locale.getdefaultlocale() reads the LANGUAGE variable incorrect, and returns a value that the encode() method does not understand. This also causes the unit tests to fail. Instead of working around the bug, a better solution is to call locale.getpreferredencoding() (all we care about is the encoding anyways), since it is not broken in python2.3.

Andres, would you mind checking if with my changes (i.e. r3114) this still works for you?
