I used env LC_ALL=C just to obtain this message in English, for this report.
It happens in Ubuntu, Lubuntu and other variants. But not for a fresh install of Mint-17. So should probably be the case for fresh install of the original Ubuntu or relatives.
Perhaps or probably, left-overs from version 6 are the reason for the problem.
For this package (itweb-settings), have not found a filled bug.
