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.

Version: 0.7.21

The IDs are for a long time now ints instead of short and at
least on all sane architectures (all archs debian supports [0])
these 32bit ints should have enough room for the next years…

The bug was closed with the entry of 0.7.21 into the archive,
which was on the 14. April 2009 with the following changelog:

[Michael Vogt]
[...]
  * [ABI break] use int for the package IDs (thanks to Steve Cotton)
[...]

At this time the bug was still closed from the experimental upload
before - it was just reopened on 17. Dec 2009 without a reason
(or at least i can't find one).

I am therefore closing these buggroup now (again),
but feel free to reopen it if you disagree. :)


Best regards,

David Kalnischkies
