Bug#449348: le: please rebuild against libncursesw5
Package: le
Version: 1.13.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
The upstream package description and freshmeat.net article mention that
le is able to edit text in multibyte encodings. This is important,
because Debian defaults to UTF-8 based locales now. However, the Debian
"le" package cannot do this, because it is built against libncurses5,
not libncursesw5. If the libncursesw5-dev package is installed, the
package is built correctly with UTF-8 support, so this is just a simple
matter of changing libncurses5-dev to libncursesw5-dev in Build-Depends.
