My guess is that this is because you're using an 8-bit character set, but the Packages files are encoded in UTF-8. When aptitude finds UTF-8 characters that it can't convert to the output charset, it replaces them with question marks. Could you try running your system in a UTF-8 locale (wherever you set cs_CZ as the locale, set cs_CZ.UTF-8 instead) and see if that helps? Make sure to run "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and check the box by cs_CZ.UTF-8 so the locale definition gets built. > Note that this is not caused by fonts/terminal etc. since the menus > contain non-english characters and are displayed properly. OK, so aptitude knows about your locale and is correctly formatting for it. Daniel
