Package: apt-show-versions
Version: 0.10
Severity: serious
Justification: apt-show-versions installable in Etch
In this specific machine I get this error, but I've tried in other etch's and
can't reproduce this.
Any idea of what's going wrong here?

Please ask any info that you might find relevant.
Oh, I only tested this on etch systems where the Locale is LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
(charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968), but I don't really think that the way to reproduce
the bug is to change the Locale... You might want to have it tested, tho.
