    1) which terminal emulator does apt-listchanges use by default? man
    apt-listchanges says that it uses $PAGER by default. But I do not have
    $PAGER set, so I wonder which terminal emulator it is using.

    2) How do I know whether my locales are UTF compatible?
    I have

    kusumanchi% locale -a
    C
    POSIX

    Are they UTF compatible? or do I need to install new locales?
