This is correct. I stopped using libutf8 when I upgraded my libc6 to 2.2. The main difference with using glibc is that you have to set up the locale (by editing /etc/locale.gen and running localegen), whereas libutf8 just detects the mention of "UTF-8" in the appropriate environment variable (LANG or LC_*). The implementations are not identical, of course, so it is possible that using glibc instead of libutf8 will expose a bug that was previously hidden. Edmund
