This error occure because I use UTF8-locale. Maybe this is ncurses issue, I
don't know. I have sys-libs/ncurses-5.6-r2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="nls" emerge sys-apps/util-linux
2. LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8" cfdisk
3. Get broken interface

did util-linux-2.12* work ?  what about 2.13.1 ?

(In reply to comment #1)
> did util-linux-2.12* work ?  what about 2.13.1 ?

2.12* not have russian interface.
2.13.1 give same problem

ok, so it isnt a regression

try without a UTF8 locale ... just LANG=ru_RU

This work, but I use UTF-8 console, and I get screen with squares instead
letters.

I think it's issue of ncurses. Same problem appears with mc long time ago.

util-linux atm forces linking against the narrow versions of ncurses ... i'm
just trying to make sure that this is indeed the source of your troubles

OK, I solved this problem. cfdisk may be compiled with slang support, this
might be workaround. Patch iincluded.

Created an attachment (id=143172) [details]
slang-support.patch

Add slang support for cfdisk

upstream now handles ncurses/ncursesw properly.  ive added that as well as
slang support to the ebuild (as slang is a terrible library to depend on).
