 Thanks. I've reported the following bugs:

 sdcv: doesn't word-wrap

You can use `fold` for that.  In fact, here is what I use:

$ sdcv -n --utf8-output --color $@ 21 | fold --width=$COLUMNS | less -FRX

The `--color` option is new in 0.5.0, and you may need to use
`$(tput cols)` instead of `$COLUMNS` if running from a script.

But this can't be used in interactive mode (though one doesn't lose
anything compared to dict, since dict doesn't have an intereactive
mode).

I suggest that you add the -d option to the apt-listbugs call
to get debugging information. Running apt-listbugs through
something like strace -f -o /tmp/strace-out may be useful
too. Then report a bug.

Is it possible that installing a particular font would help solve
characters showing up as question marks? It's helped me in the past
with web browsers doing the same with respect to non-native
languages

Just thinking out loud.. :)

If I understand /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/debian.rb requires the file

Is that a bug?

More precisely:

apt-listbugs 0.1.11 - 0.1.12
ruby-gettext 3.0.2-2 - 3.0.3-1
ruby-locale 2.1.0-1 - 2.1.0-2

I don't know which one(s) actually solved the problem.

The error don't must be a stardict related. My suggestion is not this
error related too - but try to use the GoldenDict. It supports the
StarDict's dictionaries and a lot another formats too.

The StarDict's development seems to be ended.
