Hey.

When opening the manual from within aptitude, I always see character
encoding issues (just within the manual, the rest of aptitude is fine).

With:
LANG=C.UTF-8
tables look like:
   ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ¼âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ⤠                                                                                                             ▒

With
LANG=C.UTF-8
the tables’ borders don't seem to appear at all.


Cheers,
Chris.
