Bug#391964: openssh-client: Non-ASCII characters not displayed correctly
Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.3p2-4
Severity: important
When ssh-ing into another machine, I am able to write Danish
characters such as æ,ø,å ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86 ,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98 ,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%85 )
But they are not displayed correctly, the console becomes messed up.
The problematic characters work fine on a local console. They also
work fine when ssh-ing into the same server from Windows using putty.
$LANG on my local machine is en_US.UTF-8. When logging in via ssh
$LANG is initially empty, but setting it to en_US.UTF-8 does not fix
it.
Regards, Thue
