I see the bug report now ! Thanks for the fix. Long story short I've had this bug for many months, I eventually decided to report it since I could reproduce it at work. The thing is that system at work is Ubuntu 19.04 with: $ apt-cache policy ncurses-base ncurses-base: Installed: 6.1+20181013-2ubuntu2 Candidate: 6.1+20181013-2ubuntu2 Version table: *** 6.1+20181013-2ubuntu2 500 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/main amd64 Packages 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status > > Well spotted !

No the issue is that I did not pay attention I cannot reproduce on my Debian/stable at home anymore. My bad. > Run "infocmp -x xterm-256color | head -n1" to see which file provides > xterm-256color. Neet trick. I'll override the terminfo for my Ubuntu system at work. > Cheers, > Sven > > -- > To unsubscribe, send mail to 909963-unsubscr...@bugs.debian.org.
