So can you please try the following: 1. Install the attached Encoding.pm file as /usr/share/perl5/DebConf/Encoding.pm (This instruments the calls to WrapI18N so we can see what text is making it fail.) 2. Run the `script` command to take a typescript. 3. Run apt-get again to reproduce the problem. 4. Reply with the typescript. -- see shy jo

Debconf::Encoding - Character encoding support for debconf
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides facilities to convert between character encodings for
debconf, as well as other functions to operate on characters.
Debconf uses glibc's character encoding converter via Text::Iconv instead
of perl's internal Encoding conversion library because I'm not really sure
if perls encoding is 100% the same. There could be round-trip errors
between iconv's encodings and perl's, conceivably.
$Debconf::Encoding::charmap holds the user's charmap.
Debconf::Encoding::convert() takes a charmap and a string encoded in that
charmap, and converts it to the user's charmap.
Debconf::Encoding::wrap is a word-wrapping function, with the same interface
as the one in Text::Wrap (except it doesn't gratuitously unexpand tabs).
If Text::WrapI18N is available, it will be used for proper wrapping of
multibyte encodings, combining and fullwidth characters, and languages that
do not use whitespace between words.
$Debconf::Encoding::columns is used to set the number of columns text is
wrapped to by Debconf::Encoding::wrap
Debconf::Encoding::width returns the number of columns required to display
the given string. If available, Text::CharWidth is used to determine the
width, to support combining and fullwidth characters.
Any of the above can be exported, this module uses the exporter.
