Still happening here on Oneiric. The message is shown in spanish, but if I enter S (sí = yes), installation is aborted. If I enter Y, it continues.

Install/remove a package with apt-get. You will see a confirmation prompt and the keys to confirm/cancel the installation (e.g.: [Y/n]). Type 'y'. Expected result: apt-get will continue. I get: Abort. snippet with my current locale settings: [ch@monique~%] sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-standard Paketlisten werden gelesen...

[ch@monique~%] echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 [ch@monique~%] echo $LANGUAGE de_AT:de If I change $LANG to de_AT.UTF-8, it just works! Seems like, the strings for what is displayed as the question, and the strings which are used to compare the answer are not taken from the same locale (group). Kinda disturbing, please fix.
