Bug#349818: Incorrect characters displayed in terminal programs for KOI8-R locale

[Eugene Krivdyuk]

Package: libvte-common
Version: 1:0.11.16-1
Severity: important


All russian characters are shown as rectangles in xfterm4 (xfce4
terminal emulator).
When rollback to version 1:0.11.15-4 of libvte-common all problems
with russian characters are disappear.

To reproduce just do the following:

1. Install libvte-common 1:0.11.16-1.
2. Run some gtk-based terminal emulator (e.g. xfterm4).
3. Set locale to KOI8-R.
4. Run some console-based application with russian support, e.g. mutt.
