Description tao 2008-09-28 20:01:13 UTC
MC display line of tips above commandline. This is displayer incorrectly because of encoding of /usr/share/mc.hint files. So I guess ebuild should transcode these files according to system setting.

To fix this on my system I had to run iconv -f iso-8859-2 -t utf-8 /usr/share/mc/mc.hint.cs

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run mc with affected locale. Eg. LANGUAGE=cs mc.
Actual Results:  
Tip: Zobrazen<ED> v panelech m<F9><BE>e b<FD>t upraveno. Z 'man mc' se dozv<ED>te v<ED>ce.

Expected Results:  
Tip: Zobrazení v panelech může být upraveno. Z 'man mc' se dozvíte více.
