Package: fgetty Version: 0.7-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When running virtual ttys with fgetty, I cannot type any spanish accented vowel nor the "eñe" into the console shell. I suspect it is a checkpassword.login problem. If I run a subshell (e.g. bash, rc, dash) or a readline dependant program (e.g. dvtm, mutt) it will succeed in printing out áéíóúñ. Otherwise, the shell will interpret the key as an escape secuence, and print "(arg: 1) _". The environment variables remain the same, though. I don't have this problem in ttys started with standard login program (through mingetty, ngetty, getty). But, if I invoke checkpassword.login within this scenario, the problem reappears. I have already reconfigured the keymap, encoding and fonts without any luck. Any advise will be appreciated.
