Testing with LC_ALL=he_IL LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./debian/slang1a-utf8-udeb/lib apt-get install geneweb I see that the debconf backend is crashing. Actually, it crashes without the LC_ALL, too. Without the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or pointing to the non-fribidi enabled lib, package configuration proceeds as normal. The packaging at that site should be reasonably correct now for providing a fribidi-enabled udeb with a fribidiless deb, but it looks like the fribidi patch to the slang source still needs some attention. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
