[Bug 349913] Re: sftp: cannot enter umlauts like ä, ö, ü

[Joshua Powers]

As noted earlier this is fixed in Xenial and newer, however still seen
on Trusty.

Thanks to cjwatson for pointing out the merge that has the fix for this
as well as noting other commits to avoid regressions. After looking at
the fixes, I believe this would be a fairly invasive and involved SRU to
get these pushed back to the version found on Trusty. Because of this I
am marking the Trusty task as 'wontfix'.

** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu Trusty)
       Status: In Progress => Won't Fix

Title:
  sftp: cannot enter umlauts like ä, ö, ü

Status in portable OpenSSH:
  Fix Released
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in openssh source package in Trusty:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When I am on the sftp prompt, I cannot enter something like ä, ö or ü.
  It just does nothing if I press the keys, so I can't transfer files
  including these characters. On the other hand, ls works fine with such
  files.

  This is my curent locale:

  $ locale
  LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
  LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
