Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-2
Severity: normal

When using aptitude under a UTF-8 character set, what should be box
borders are appearing as lqqq...k under PuTTY.

My guess is that PuTTY expects the Unicode line-drawing characters
outlined here
<http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/docbook/chapter/book/iso-box.html>
(example: U250C U2500 U2500 U2500 ... U2510 for a top line)
rather than the old style ones when UTF-8 encoding and translation are
used.
