That's awkward, I tested localization several times during the development cycle of apt-listbugs/0.1.10 and I have never found any issues (even with German localization). Anyway, the localization is handled by ruby-gettext and ruby-locale: apt-listbugs itself does not directly manage the locale environment variables or the encoding names. I am hence reassigning your bug report to ruby-locale, as I think the error is generated by that library (or maybe by ruby-gettext?). [...] > Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) [...] I see that you set some locale environment variables to "de_DE.utf8". Shouldn't it be "de_DE.UTF-8"? I've just checked with # LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 aptitude install some_package and both aptitude and apt-listbugs ran correctly with output in German. Please try and set your locale to "de_DE.UTF-8": it should make apt-listbugs work correctly. I also tested # LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 aptitude install some_package The awkward result is that aptitude seems to run correctly with output in German, while apt-listbugs fails with the error you experienced! Maybe there's some Ruby-specific peculiarity (or bug!) in the locale handling that prevents "de_DE.utf8" from being accepted as a valid setting (apt-listbugs is written in Ruby, while aptitude is not!). I hope the maintainers of ruby-locale / ruby-gettext will soon figure out what's wrong...
