The behaviour of the lat2a-16 is a bit strange though, even on the shell in the console (without yast, mc, ...)....

Should I revert the change from comment 1, so YaST uses lat2-16 again instead of lat2a-16? Or should I leave it, assuming lat2a-16 should be fixed anyway? What's the difference between those two? Mike? (In reply to comment #25 from Mike Fabian)

I am a bit surprised though that everything works fine when yast is started in script. On top of that, yast also works fine when the ncurses version is started in a terminal under X. Doesn’t that show that the ncurses support works fine in yast? Only on the linux console it is different, i.e. it looks like yast ncurses does something special on the linux console which is not done within script or in a terminal under X.

I’m really not sure whether this code is useful at all and why it was added. If the locale settings are not suitable for the terminal used, I guess it is an error of the user who must have done something silly. We cannot fix every possible user setup error in the yast start script.
