I use luit to convert the encoding of MUD games, but I failed

It uses the wrong path to find the data

dev <at> tencent ~$ luit -encoding gbk
/gnu/store/a4knixgswikbb4r7cw9srh07w0f9n0jw-luit-1.1.1/share/X11/locale/locale.alias:
No such file or directory
Warning: couldn't find charset data for locale gbk; using ISO 8859-1.

'gbk' doesn't appear to be a known alias, at least for the locale.alias
file provided by our libx11 package.

I believe the missing locale.alias file has now been fixed with:

Closing.

Thanks for the report!
