#1205030 — Bug#1076678: apt: as of the recent apt redo, progress bars on screen-on-urxvt in en_US.UTF-8 uses wrong characters

Package: apt
Version: 2.9.6
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

This started when the new-style apt got installed.

screen is running on another sid with its child ttys each ssh’ed
into a remote deb.

it may occurr under any UTF-8 locale, but I only ever use en_US.UTF-8
and more recently C.UTF-8, but I’ve not switched everything over yet.

urxvt itself is running on a gentoo box, if relevant.
(Also using en_US.UTF-8.)

(Also, if relevant, all of the remotes are xen or kvm.)

You failed to mention what these "wrong characters" are…
perhaps with a copy&paste or a screenshot.


If APT runs with an UTF-8 codeset it now uses utf8 block characters,
if it isn't it falls back to the "old" style of using #.

The code is here:
https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/apt-pkg/install-progress.cc?ref_type=heads#L346-367
The block characters are btw:
 ▏ ▎ ▍ ▌ ▋ ▊ ▉ █
as in: those chars including & following "U+2588 FULL BLOCK"

So, honestly, I don't see much opportunity for apt to be wrong here
and would guess its either your transit layers messing up or your
chosen font not supporting these characters; but I am happy to be
proven wrong given utf8 isn't my expertise.


Best regards

> You failed to mention what these "wrong characters" are…

they do not remain to copy and paste, but the progress is using an
accented miniscule a.

it *may* have been U+E2 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX.

the boxes for “overlays” also fail to use the actual block chars.
and instead get what look like chars from U+80 TO U+FF.

screen is explicitly run with -U and all of the locales are .UTF-8 .

and everything else works correctly.

#1205612

My X server crased.  When I logged back into the screen session, I got
the expected black bar instead id the â characters.

I’ve no explanation for the difference.

The only continuing problem is that the progress bar gets screwed
whenever apt (or dpkg or whichever) asks for confirmation.

After that the bar is overwritten by apt’s output and scrolls up,
leaving a bar every four lines or so.
