Hi Axel,

apparently it is not sufficient to just add the entry to sources.list.d.
I had to update the local cache to make aptitude die.

No, I just have

        # cat .aptitude/config
        aptitude "";
        aptitude::Keep-Unused-Pattern "";
        aptitude::Delete-Unused-Pattern "";
        aptitude::UI "";
        aptitude::UI::Prompt-On-Exit "false";
        aptitude::UI::Advance-On-Action "true";
        APT "";
        APT::Install-Recommends "false";

On some systems I have set LANG=C or LANG=en_US.UTF-8, but I can reproduce
this using

        # locale
        LANG=
        LANGUAGE=
        LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
        LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
        LC_TIME="POSIX"
        LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
        LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
        LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
        LC_PAPER="POSIX"
        LC_NAME="POSIX"
        LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
        LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
        LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
        LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
        LC_ALL=

I doubt that this is related to the locale.

If you neither use any of these settings nor use a non-english locale,
is there any chance that you can install these packages (for
bookworm/sid, otherwise run "find-dbgsym-packages aptitude" from the
debian-goodies package) on one of the affected machines:

strace aptitude-dbgsym libapt-pkg6.0-dbgsym
libboost-iostreams1.74.0-dbgsym libbz2-1.0-dbgsym libc6-dbg
libcap2-dbgsym libcwidget4-dbgsym libelogind0-dbgsym libgcc-s1-dbgsym
libgcrypt20-dbgsym libgpg-error0-dbgsym liblz4-1-dbgsym
liblzma5-dbgsym libncursesw6-dbgsym libsigc++-2.0-0v5-dbgsym
libsqlite3-0-dbgsym libstdc++6-dbgsym libtinfo6-dbgsym libudev1-dbgsym
libuuid1-dbgsym libxapian30-dbgsym libxxhash0-dbgsym libzstd1-dbgsym
zlib1g-dbgsym


libelogind0? This breaks systemd.
