Basically, this means that there's no utf8 support, which means that almost any non-Eglish language fails.
Appearently, this was/is a package build bug; the support was always there in the sources, and was just not being built for the package. typical symptoms: nm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.a |grep el_wgets reveals nothing, likewise a grep for history_w history_winit el_wset history_wend and so on, all of which are in the header file /usr/include/editline/readline.h -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1375921 Title: libedit should be updated to wchar_t capable version from debian 3.1-20140620-2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libedit/+bug/1375921/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
