Package: rc
Version: 1.7.4-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Neither Spanish accented vowels nor the "eñe" are echoed into rc(1) when 
executed as a login shell in virtual ttys with a latam keyboard layout. 
Nevertheless, if rc(1) is executed again, as a subshell, or when running a 
readline dependant program such as ed, mutt or dvtm, those keys will print the 
expected characters.

Please, do have a look at this bug report for further information: 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=833116

I would like your advise to evaluate if it is an rc, a login1 or a readline 
related problem. Please, let me know which other tests would you consider to be 
useful.

Kind regards,

Ricardo
