Title:
  luit gives "Warning: couldn't find charset data for locale XXXX; using
  ISO 8859-1."

Status in “x11-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “x11-utils” source package in Hardy:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: x11-utils

  Release: ubuntu 8.04.01 (Hardy).
  x11-utils version 7.3+1 from http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main

  When running "LANG=en_US luit ssh ancient-machine" or "LANG=en_US xterm -lc", luit issues a warning:
  "Warning: couldn't find charset data for locale en_US; using ISO 8859-1." (in the xterm example, the warning will appear as the first line in the xterm).

  This is because luit cannot find the correct locale.alias file. It
  looks for  /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias, but that file is not
  present (at least on hardy), it is in
  /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias.

  Quick-fix solution:

    $ cd /usr/lib/X11
    $ sudo mkdir locale
    $ cd locale
    $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias .

  Now "luit" behaves properly, at least for latin1 or latin9 type of
  locales.

  Better fix is likely to recompile luit with the correct paths
  (encodings.dir also has an incorrect path: another /usr/lib/X11 vs
  /usr/share/X11 mixup).
