[Bug 884001] Re: apt expects [Y/n] instead of [J/n] in german

[David Kalnischkies]

Could you run 'locale' on your machine, please?

I guess your Language setup is mixed up, giving you german messages, but
expecting english.

A good output might look like this:
>>>
$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
<<<

Smells at least like #178144 and #819279.
(Way more, but i can't find them now)

Title:
  apt expects [Y/n] instead of  [J/n] in german

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Lucid 11.04
  apt 0.8.13.2ubuntu4.2

  This bug appears during 'apt-get upgrade' and 'apt-get install'.
  It affects the german translation.

  Every time apt asks
  Möchten Sie fortfahren [J/n]?                            (engl: Do you want to continue [Y/n]?)
  it expects a Y for Yes instead of a J for Ja.

  Upgrades and installs become impossible until one knows the english
  letter/key.
