Title:
  libedit is missing utf8 support (neeedd for non-Engliish)

Status in “libedit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The libedit and libedit-dev packages are missing support for utf8 (and
  thus, support for most on-English languages).   Aparantly, this was a
  package build bug; the support was always there in the sources, and
  was just not being built for the package.

  The issue appears to be fixed upstream, in Debian, and only needs to
  be pulled into mint:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=756736

  Symptoms:

  nm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.a |grep el_wgets   reveals nothing, similarly, no symbol for 
  history_w  history_winit el_wset history_wend and so on, all of which are in the header file /usr/include/editline/readline.h

  
  This is in mint 17 qianna
