Bug Description
Especially in 'Resolve Dependencies' view, i've noticed over the past week or two, the package names are replaced with garbled text. Pressing 'up' or 'down' re-scrambles the text in a consistent way --
it will look something like :
P&i U (this should be cups-filters-
cups-filters
cups-pk-helper
cups-ppdc
P^^ ~U (this should be cups-server-common)
encryptfs-utils
YR U (this should be gir1.2-
If you hit up twice, and down twice, the scrambled text that was there to start with shows up again -- it's a deterministic stramble of some kind.
Other places where the name of the package should show up, the package name shows up correctly -- it's just in the actual list of package names which is scrambled.
Scrambled text contains uppercase, lowercase, @, ^, ~, `, \, numbers,

This has been fixed in Aptitude's Git repository as well as in Debian Experimental. Will be fixed in Aptitude 0.7.1, i.e. the next upload of Aptitude to Debian Unstable.
