Bug Description
Binary package hint: aptitude
Using putty (0.60) to connect to ubuntu 10.4 beta server.
run aptitude
The border boxes and menu boxes are drawn inconsistently.
If putty is set to UTF-8 the menu boxes (hit f10 for menus) are drawn correctly but the other boxes (eg l for limit, quit are you sure) are drawn wrong.
if putty is set to ISO-8859-15 or ISO-8859-1 then the menu boxes are wrong but the other boxes are drawn correctly.
#257511 is related but dismissed already
Before you blame it on putty again, on my debian system (today's stable version) aptitude 0.4.11.11 with same putty,
aptitude draws all the boxes correctly when putty is set to ISO-8859-15 and all the boxes wrong when putty is set to UTF-8.
So the lack of consistency is an ubuntu feature.

OK, on my debian system the environment variable LANG is set to 'en_GB'.
On my ubuntu system the environment variable LANG is set to 'en_GB.UTF-8'.
setting the LANG environment variable consistently gives consistent behaviour between ubuntu and debian.
Is there something wrong with the UTF8 local?
