Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: aptitude

At the command prompt when you type "aptitude why"  you get the
following:

why: this command requires at least one argument (the package to
query).bb...@tardis:~$

Notice there is no newline after the error message so the prompt is
directly after the error message.  It should appear like so:

why: this command requires at least one argument (the package to query).
bb...@tardis:~$

My version information:
Description:    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:        10.04

aptitude:
  Installed: 0.4.11.11-1ubuntu10
  Candidate: 0.4.11.11-1ubuntu10
  Version table:
 *** 0.4.11.11-1ubuntu10 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I have attached a patch, and I believe this problem is solved in later
versions of aptitude, so there may be not much benefit pushing upstream.
