[Urwid] Weird LineBox behavior

[John Powell]

Ian,

I have had to migrate my work to another environment which includes a new
kernel and new busybox executable.

I have tried to setup the environment as exact as possible but I am back to
square one with this issue.

LANG=en_GB.utf8, TERM=linux. I have played around with LC and LC_ALL as well
as TERMINFO but with no success. I suppose this is more of a busybox
configuration thing (using version 1.2.1, with locale support enabled). But I
figured I would try here before I venture into the busybox forums.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

John

Thanks for the quick explanation. I had not placed the locale archive in the
correct location. Fixed now and things are working fine.

Thanks again,

John
