This is the library source code that builds libdts AFAIK. However, next to the link to the tarball download the following warning can be found: Provisional Warning: DTS Inc. claims that use of libdca software, to decode DTS compressed sound data on a DVD could violate DTS's patent rights. If you are unsure about the legality of using and distributing this code in your country, in particular in the USA, please consult your lawyer before downloading it. Well, we allready have a package of this library in Debian, it's only for an older release (0.0.2). Is it OK to package this library anyway, since it is a decoding library and we allready have a bunch of decoding libraries in Debian (think of libmad and libfaad2). Does anyone know if the patent issue does only apply to the new upstream version or if the old Fabian Greffrath 2008-05-18T12:25:59 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/438222 Nico Golde 2008-05-18T12:13:01 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/438220 Package: konsole Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2+b1 Severity: important When running "aptitude" or "screen" from a shell started inside a konsole terminal, the backspace misbehaves. This is true even if aptitude is used from Sid, Etch or Sarge. When the same versions of aptitude is used from the virtual console or from gnome-terminal, everything is ok. Reproduction steps: Open konsole from the shell, start aptitude press "/" to start a search type something try to delete it by pressing backspace - nothing happens. Press ctrl-H - the last character is deleted as if backspace was pressed Open konsole from the shell, start "screen" in that shell, type "12345", and then left arrow twice Press backspace - you would expect the 3 to be deleted. Instead, the 4 is deleted. Press ctrl-H - the three is deleted. This problem actually happens with gnome-terminal as well, but not with the virtual console. Shachar Shemesh 2008-05-18T12:15:28 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/438218 Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Please remove xchat-guile from ia64 in unstable and testing. xchat-guile is not being built on ia64 because a build-dependency (namely guile-1.8) is not available on ia64. (Earlier versions of xchat-guile build-depended on guile-1.6.) This keeps it from migrating under the "not in syn on all archs" criterium. If an architecture doesn't have guile-1.8, then no xchat-guile for it.

Consequently, I have removed the wontfix tag from this bug. Please do not take this as a promise for UTF-8 support, and certainly not as a promise for UTF-8 support *soon*. Also, there are several workarounds to have ekg work properly in a UTF-8 terminal.
