Dear Maintainer,

some days ago I installed Debian 7.5, installed the xfce4 environment
and decided to use C as system language because it is the basic that
all system should understand. Today I installed libeoffice and after
some time the xterm window becomes unresponsible and the apt-get
process diapeared. In the xterm I can see the last lines:

Adding debian:GeoTrust_Universal_CA.pem
Adding debian:QuoVadis_Root_CA_3.pem
Adding debian:EBG_Elektronik_Sertifika_Hizmet_Sa�B��TAK_UEKAE_K��k_Sertifika_Hizmet_Sa�

For me it looks like a internalisation problem in xterm, but I'm not
sure if it's caused by using problematic characters in the libreoffice
install scripts. Beside of this the apt-get seem to have finished it's
job, libreoffice seems to be installed.

Best regards,
Stephan

"unresponsive" could be due to the application sending any of these 8-bit
codes when it's not in UTF-8 mode:

ESC ]
     Operating System Command (OSC  is 0x9d).
ESC ^
     Privacy Message (PM  is 0x9e).
ESC _
     Application Program Command (APC  is 0x9f).

...but I cannot tell exactly from this, because it's plain ASCII

See this in the manpage:

       -k8     This  option  sets  the  allowC1Printable resource.  When allowC1Printable is set, xterm-dev overrides the
               mapping of C1 control characters (code 128-159) to treat them as printable.

(not a bug, but a feature)
