Summary
-------
"aptitude update" with German locale fails,
subsequent "LC_ALL=C aptitude update" succeeds.

Prior to workaround the problem with LC_ALL=C, aptitude and apt-get
are COMPLETELY unusable.  Lesser experienced users with German locale
will be unable to use aptitude and apt-get any more.
--> Severity important.

Terminal output in full length on request.
