aptitude package name text scrambled on certain packages

[themusicgod1]

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-core-drivers)
cups-filters
cups-pk-helper
cups-ppdc
P^^ ~U (this should be cups-server-common)
encryptfs-utils
    YR U (this should be gir1.2-gnomebluetooth-1.0)

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.

No longer seeing this is xenial (aptitude 0.7.4) so marking as "Fix Released"
