util-linux-locales Configuring Locales --- Unable to select

[Gary Turner <kk5st@sbcglobal.net>]

On an apt-get upgrade, the util-linux-locales package is among the
upgraded packages in Sarge.  The "Configuring Locales" screen comes up
and I would like to indicate "no change".  The problem is that I am
unable to make a selection.  The only option I seem to have is to scroll
up and down the list.  (Each choice *is* hi-lited as scrolled to.)

Usually, I can select by hitting right arrow, which will hi-lite "OK".
Today, this acts as a down arrow.  Left arrow scrolls up.  Hitting
"enter" does nothing.

I searched BTS for util-linux-locales, and/or Configuring Locale to no
avail.  I am not BTS fluent, so my search could be faulty.

I may be wrong about the package in which I see the error, though doing
"apt-get install --reinstall util-linux-locales" gave me the same
problem.

I will appreciate some clue as to my next steps.  I am quite willing, if
needed, to postpone this particular package update, or I could learn
some more BTS and file a bug.
