Hello, Thank you for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry to keep the bug unattended for so long. There's now an effort to review the open bugs related with aptitude and resume development.
I think that the following items are related, a bug report and a way to fix it in Pidgin: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743481 http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/diff/be5e66abad2af29604bc794cc4c6600ab12751f3/with/7eb1f6d56cc58bbb5b56b7df53955d36b9b419b8 The problem seems to be that the glib function expects utf8 strings but it's given other strings by the locale settings: Locale: LANG=cs_CZ, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ (charmap=ISO-8859-2) This is the documentation of the function, expecting "some valid UTF-8 text": http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.31/glib-Simple-XML-Subset-Parser.html#g-markup-escape-text So probably the fix involves validating the utf8 string, as Pidgin does in the bugfix. But before anything else, could you (Jiri) please check that this is still happening?
