Today during apt update I got a very strange error message (below)
Running apt udpate did not seem to reproduce the issue.

Does anyone know what is this? And why does it tell "get haircut" ?

--------
$ sudo apt update

Don't know what it is but I got exactly the same thing. I just ran
update again and since it didn't occur again, I forgot all about it. I
assumed it had to do with me running a testing distribution. Didn't
happen on the debian stable box that I just tried.

I did it just in case I drunk myself into oblivion and started writing down 
such tasks into my computer, but no, there is not a single file on my computer 
with such string. 

Additionally, Anders has reported similar issue, so I think this is something 
bigger then just 1 malfunctioning PC.

"get haircut" doesn't show up in many places, but I suspect it relates
to emojis used for example in libreoffice. I noticed that the
libreoffice packages were recently upgraded in testing.
(/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/emojiconfig/emoji.json for example)

I'm also seeing this, yesterday and today on unstable/sid. It does not
happen on every use of `sudo aptitude update`, only some.
