I noticed the error today, when using dpkg-reconfigure, too. So, this
seems to be not limited to aptitude, but more general for all console
applications which use that kind of 'graphical' output.

Then, I checked whether it works over SSH.
Then this happened: While I can use it perfectly over SSH (no strange messages, 
correct appearance, correct keyboard behaviour), a message appeared on tty1 
(NOT over SSH, on the server screen itself):

"mountall:Cancelled
General error mounting filesystems. A maintenance shell will now be started. 
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and retry"

Then a root prompt appears...

Please not that I did not try to mount any file system, I simply used aptitude.
/var/log/messages or /var/log/debug did not contain any information.
