You have already reported this bug.  Please read the discussion at:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199653

(which I CC'd to you) and tell me:

- your login shell (getent passwd `whoami`)
- how you log in (console, ssh, xdm, gdm, etc.)
- what terminal program you use (gnome-terminal, xterm, rxvt, etc.)
- the output from this command: perl -w -e ""

This is not a bug in apt, but in some other program on your system, and we
need to find out which one.
