Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.9-1
Severity: minor
On your Linux console tty1 (not inside X Windows), do
$ emacs -Q -f shell
and then inside it
$ aptitude search aptitude
You'll see it is 1 character too wide and wraps ugly.
Same with the show command.

Hi all,
2015-08-28 13:23 Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo:
So, as a summary of all of the above, I think that:
a) this is not a bug in aptitude itself, but derived from the fact that
emacs shell uses a dumb terminal and the way in which it treats EOLs
(thus marking wishlist)
b) I could be persuaded to do otherwise, but at the moment I think that
it is better to address this with the "-w" option than to change the
implementation and risk breaking the current behaviour stablished
long ago for other use-cases (e.g. getting 80-wide files by default).
For those inclined to use aptitude within emacs dumb terms, this is
possible to solve in the ways above and have a quick way to specify the
width [1], and I don't plan to add special support for this.
So closing the bug report now.
[1] in bash, "aptitude -w $((${COLUMNS}-1))"
