That may be true, but aptitude does exactly the same thing for all the progress messages -- either display a progress bar or clear it depending on the message apt gives it. In this case, I don't see what could possibly be going wrong. aptitude tells curses to emit text at a particular location. It clearly is passing the right location: if I shift the text to the left, it's in the right location relative to the right-hand side of the terminal, even when I can reproduce the bug otherwise. I'm inclined to reassign this to curses or to the terminal itself, if I can figure out which one is at fault.
