$ LANG=ru_RU.cp866 luit -encoding 'CP 866' -v ./cp866.app

And I have not found official bugtracker for luit. So, found there patch http://gentoo.ru/node/9440 (page on Russian) may help. I have test it, but until cant't fix issue. So, may be for others it do more.

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2011-10-17 08:00:04 UTC

We filed this bug in the upstream database (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41857) and believe that it is more appropriate to let it be resolved upstream.

We will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates.

However, I would also note the headline of the list where CP 866 is mentioned:

"Known charsets (not all may be available):"

We would strongly encourage you to subscribe to the upstream bug as well (by logging in and adding yourself to the Cc list), so that you can provide whatever information required for the successful resolving of this issue.

Thank you for helping to make free software better.

Ok, thank you, Matěj Cepl.
I'll subscribe to upstream bug shortly.

Comment 5 Pavel Alexeev 2012-10-16 08:52:28 UTC

Matěj, could you please update it in Fedora as it fixed upstream?
