Yes and no. It works in an rxvt, but not in a console. (It's possible
that my patched version worked on a rxvt too; I didn't think to try
that.) In a console, I get no accepted keystrokes. Other ncurses
programs (e.g. nvi) seem to work just fine.
LC_ALL and LANG are unset - setting them to "C" doesn't seem to make any
difference. In the console, TERM=linux, in the rxvt, TERM=rxvt.

Checked while testing my patched version, confirmed today:
# aptitude --version
aptitude 0.4.6.1 compiled at Jul 25 2007 22:45:29
Compiler: g++ 4.1.3 20070718 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-14)
NCurses version: 5.6
libsigc++ version: 2.0.17
(Later...)
Okay, so I ran an upgrade (via the rxvt instance) which installed a week
or two worth of updates. I then rebooted (into the same kernel), and now
aptitude works fine in the linux console, as well. Weird stuff...if you
think it matters, I'll send you the log of what was upgraded.
I'll let you know if it returns, but I guess we can consider fixed.
Thanks,
Steve
