I have the same problem. I'm using Kubuntu 8.10. In system settings (Regional and Language option) my country is set to Brazil, and my language is set to English. All command-line programs are in English, but not apt. Thus I'm having the same problem, when I need to confirm something it shows (S/n), but to say yes I have to press 'Y', not 'S'. (It's the expected behaviour, since it should be in English, but it's not what it shows me on screen)
