That was, errr, interesting. Since I have locale-purge installed and
it runs after packages are installed via Aptitude, it helpfully cleaned
out the en_US.UTF-8 locale since I hadn't selected it back who know's
when via the locales package. All kinds of weired and interesting
effects occured once I allowed en_US.UTF-8 become the default. :-)
As a work around I've set en_US as my locale in my .bashrc and will
wait until a number of pacakges get updated and the UTF locale gets
restored before trying again. At least I think I'm on the right track.
I guess that some tools fall into the realm of "if you know what you're
doing". ;-)
