Title:
  aptitude does not draw box borders consistently

Status in aptitude:
  Unknown
Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
