Bug Description

I use LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
wheh I run cfdisk or dselect, Russia interface doesn't display correctly. Some of Russia letters have substituted for "?" letters.
In example when I run cfdisk, it displays:

�и�ков�й накопи�ел�: /dev/hda
                 Разме�: 60040544256 бай�, 60.0 �� <91>
�оловок: 255 Сек�о�ов на до�ожк�: 63 Цилинд�

when I use LANG=C, cfdisk displays english version of interface without any problems.
dselect has same problem.
Maybe there are another console application, that doesn't display Russia correctly, I didn't test all of them.

There is no "cfdisk-utf8" package in Ubuntu 6.06 LST.
"/sbin/cfdisk" is in "util-linux" package.
P.S. Sorry, I didn't point that I use Ubuntu 6.06 LST
       in my previous message.

Pity, I can't reply you just now, I'm on business trip.
My PC is about 10000km from me. I'll reply you when I return home.

P.S. I was sure somebody reply when possible.
     Above all - the project is living.

Hi,
I've already upgraded to 8.04 and have the same problem.
cfdisk interface is still incorrect.
