Hi Axel,

apparently it is not sufficient to just add the entry to sources.list.d.
I had to update the local cache to make aptitude die.

No, I just have

	# cat .aptitude/config
	aptitude "";
	aptitude::Keep-Unused-Pattern "";
	aptitude::Delete-Unused-Pattern "";
	aptitude::UI "";
	aptitude::UI::Prompt-On-Exit "false";
	aptitude::UI::Advance-On-Action "true";
	APT "";
	APT::Install-Recommends "false";

On some systems I have set LANG=C or LANG=en_US.UTF-8, but I can reproduce
this using

	# locale
	LANG=
	LANGUAGE=
	LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
	LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
	LC_TIME="POSIX"
	LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
	LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
	LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
	LC_PAPER="POSIX"
	LC_NAME="POSIX"
	LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
	LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
	LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
	LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
	LC_ALL=

I doubt that this is related to the locale.

libelogind0? This breaks systemd.
