While it was a good guess, I don't think this is an aptitude bug. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ LC_ALL=C LANG=C apt-cache show kimwitu Package: kimwitu Priority: optional Section: devel Installed-Size: 936 Maintainer: Michael Piefel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 4.6.1-7.1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1) Recommends: c-compiler, kimwitu-doc Suggests: bison | byacc | btyacc Filename: pool/main/k/kimwitu/kimwitu_4.6.1-7.1_i386.deb Size: 211528 MD5sum: 76b9d878adf7b294dbaf3507b21752cd SHA1: e66ba3d392344fa70186d6a8f93d10e81edf9ce4 SHA256: f25e498feb5b0e3e5356940d66bd7772bd822e558c234d473faf3e05cec5154b Description: Compiler development tool, complementary to lex and yacc Kimwitu (pronounced kee'mweetoo) is a system that supports the construction of programs that use trees or terms as their main data structure. It is a Tag: devel::code-generator, devel::lang:c, interface::commandline, role::program, scope::utility It looks to me like apt is actually returning a truncated string from pkgRecords::Parser::LongDesc. This is surprising, since apt can certainly handle wide characters in descriptions most of the time (e.g., in translated descriptions). I'll see if I can look into this tomorrow.
