[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#320129: /bin/su: Incorret encoding used in error message

[Peter Karlsson]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.0.3-31sarge5
Severity: minor
File: /bin/su

The localized Swedish error message from su is always output using UTF-8
encoding, even when the terminal does not support it, which makes the
message display incorrectly:

  $ su 
  Password: 
  su: Authentication failure
  Tyvärr.
