baselayout-1.11.12-r4 breaks former working setup for locale/keymap/consolefont on console for ncurses based applications. I use locale "de_DE@euro", consolefont "lat9w-16", keymap "de-latin1-nodeadkeys". This combination no longer functions after upgrading to baselayout-1.11.12-r4, ncurses applications are broken, ASCII line charakters are not displayed anymore, this can be worked around by disabling unicode, but all mutated vowels like "äöü" are garbled on console... I consider this a bug, even if someone comes up that this is a configuration issue, because a former working setup is broken. All relevant configs that former reside in rc.conf are split up in the relocated files under /etc/conf.d. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.setup consolefont/keymap/locale 2.start ncurses based applikation like "mc" " dialog"... 3.toggle unicode setting Actual Results: broken ncurses applikations on console/character display Expected Results: correct character display on console for my locale setting and working ncurses applikations Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.4.200 41102-r1, 2.4.30-grsec i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.30-grsec i686 Pentium III (Katmai) Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Apr 30 2005, 16:53:41)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentiumpro -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/ config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentiumpro -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ distributions/gentoo" LC_ALL="de_DE@euro" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 activefilter bitmap-fonts bzlib crypt ctype dbm emboss erandom ethereal flatfile fortran ftp gdbm gnutls hardened icc ifc maildir mbox memlimit mhash m ime mmap mmx mp3 mysqli ncurses nls pam pcntl pcre perl pic pie posix readline r ecode sasl shared sharedmem slang sockets socks5 sse ssl sysvipc szip tcpd truet ype-fonts type1-fonts unicode zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY

> This is an incorrect locale for UTF-8 enabled systems. You should use de_DE.UTF-8 ok, many thanks for that hint, it works now like it should... I just wonder why it worked with the former version... =8-), it seems the new baselayout is much more correct on things like this and this slipped through my fingers...
(In reply to comment #2) > I just wonder why it worked with the former version... =8-) Because baselayout now sets UNICODE="yes" in /etc/rc.conf if you have unicode in your use flags. ;-)
