Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.1.5-3 Severity: normal Aptitude appears to have some hardcoded dependencies on the locale. Given this, it really needs to force the locale before starting. I have to start it up with LANG=C aptitude in order to keep the screen readable; otherwise I get lots of nonsense characters.
In the long run, it should probably be properly UNICODE-ized. -- Package-specific info: aptitude 0.6.1.5 compiled at Mar 12 2010 09:52:06 Compiler: g++ 4.4.3 Compiled against: apt version 4.8.0 NCurses version 5.7 libsigc++ version: 2.2.4.2 Ept support enabled.
