I'd like to officially offer dftp up for adoption. I don't use it
anymore -- dselect works much better for me now that I came to terms
with it -- and so I don't really have much interest in maintaining
dftp anymore (that and the fact that I have a bunch of other things

No! You cannot use libc5 compiled perl with glibc locales! Wait for a
libc6 version of perl and everything should be fine again.
