Thats right. I also use the xterm-256color terminal type. Using aptitude
in a screen (which has a TERM of "screen") works well. Please merge it.

It seems likely that this is the same issue as #452651 which was
reassigned to cwidget and marked as pending; consider reassigning and
merging this bug with #452651.

  Unfortunately, I started a new terminal in an iso-8859-1 locale
and set the locale to de_DE (no utf-8).

  What's particularly odd is that whatever Control-? is, it behaves like
backspace when I type it into aptitude (as does Control-h).

But what other applications do you use?  Several accept either backspace
or delete already (and some make it more confusing by selectively treating
that situation).

Hmmm... I can reproduce it on any of my machines. Some of them are
upgraded from earlier versions of debian and other are fresh installed.

No, it's a pure debian system.

Could it be a problem of the terminal as I use iso-8859-1 as terminal
and NO utf-8.

It is realy strange that this problem only happens in aptitude and in no
other application.

  OK, well, I'll mark this unreproducible -- it doesn't happen for me
in xterms (I even tried duplicating your locale settings, but no luck).

  Here's another thought: could you have terminfo/termcap settings from
another system hanging around?  E.g., is the variable $TERMINFO set to
anything?

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.3-1

Hmm.. This might be between minor and normal severity. However...

Please allow ^? as backspace as well as ^H! It is always bad if I type
some times backspace since I recognize once again that I have to type
ctrl-h to delete typos in search or other dialogs. aptitude is the only
tool in debian which has problems with the backspace under debian. (Sun
use ^H as I know... So aptitude in ssh from a sun might work well.)
