Bug Description
In LSB Application battery, lynx is linked against libncurses.so.5. Therefore,
it is unable to display Unicode characters on the terminal in UTF-8 locales. I
am going to attach the test file and the screenshots.
The solution would be to link lynx against libncursesw.so.5 by means of the
undocumented --with-
in LSB (should I file a separate bug for this?)
The locale has been installed properly:
root@homebox:~# locale
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=
LC_NUMERIC=
LC_TIME=
LC_COLLATE=
LC_MONETARY=
LC_MESSAGES=
LC_PAPER=
LC_NAME=
LC_ADDRESS=
LC_TELEPHONE=
LC_MEASUREMENT=
LC_IDENTIFICATI
LC_ALL=
Lynx has been configured (in /opt/lsb/
character set for terminal i/o:
CHARACTER_SET:UTF-8
I also tried to set LOCALE_
