Is this a bug with the package procps-ng-watch?

For Developers
1

when using the "watch" command from "procps-ng-watch" with the "tree" command from the package "tree" it doesnt display the unicode characters, there is a similar post on another forum for a different distro that mentions the issue is to do with a build flag missing (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/275220) is this something I can/should file a bug report for?

I'm sorry I don't follow. I'm running the OpenWRT build on Proxmox, are you referring to the host?

Question is how non-unicode linux locale behaves

Ok I think I understand. I spun up a Ubuntu VM and tested "watch tree" before and after "set LC_ALL=C" and both times the command looked right
