[Pkg-aide-maintainers] Bug#631398: aideinit fails: Error in expression

Package: aide
Version: 0.15.1-2
Severity: important
I cannot initialize the aide database on a fresh Squeeze build.
Running "aideinit" results in lines like the following:
Running aide --init...
471:Error in expression:�Qe
Configuration error
AIDE --init return code 17
The characters that follow "Eror in expression" change from run to
run, though they always seem to start with that inverse-text
questionmark symbol. That text does not appear in
/var/lib/aide/aide.conf.autogenerated, nor does there appear to be any
special unicode character on line 471.
Since I'm not seeing lots of bug reports on a completely broken AIDE,
I can only assume there's something odd in my environment causing it,
but it persists even after I remove all of my custom rulesets in
aide.conf.d and forcibly remove
/var/lib/aide/aide.conf.autogenerated. It happens on both i386 and
amd64 Squeeze boxes. The version in Lenny (0.13.1-10) works fine.
