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. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7eagle-20040916 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3 0.5.28.1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-12 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-1.2-5c102 1.2.5-4 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-12 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
