Just a comment, Daniel: this *only* happens while under the French
locale. If I run under the en_US.UTF8 locale (via 'env LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8
whatever), then there is no problem.
In fact, for some few weeks I did that; eventually I got fed up, and
switched to en_US completely. And... I no more have this error. So, I am
not quite sure this is the same issue.
To wit:
(1) Under the Frencg locale:
hg...@xango2:/usr/src/buildd/evolution/evo-2.24-svn $ env LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF8
sudo apt-get update
Atteint http://download.virtualbox.org intrepid Release.gpg
Ign http://download.virtualbox.org intrepid/non-free Translation-fr
(...)
Atteint http://packages.medibuntu.org intrepid/non-free Packages

Lecture des listes de paquets... Erreur !
