Package: dselect Version: 1.10 Severity: minor dselect incorrectly assumes that one byte in a string occupies one column on the screen. This is used in dselect's main menu to align the explanations of the 7 options. However, with UTF-8, this assumption may not be true. For instance, the German umlauts take 2 bytes. To see the effect, just start dselect with the German UTF-8 locale.
