As I said, I'm not very faimliar with a C environment, I compiled (i.e., autoreconf+configure+make)
the untouched (before your patch) apt-dater source (got from [email protected]:DE-IBH/apt-dater.git)
and I get this error when refreshing the hosts:
** (apt-dater:420774): WARNING **:
15:41:58.476: Failed to execute child process “/usr/local/lib/apt-dater/cmd” (No such file or directory)

Dear Maintainer,
After a recent upgrade of tmux apt-dater started (when connecting to a host) failing with errors
like:
"invalid window name: user,,, # root@host...." (username and host are edited)
Latest versions of tmux have restricted characters allowed in window titles (see tmux/tmux#5299)
so apt-dater fails
I did not find a way of setting a title in the config file of apt-dater...
Actually the code seems to set a title without resorting to the config file (see line 174 of src/
tmux.c) if I understand correctly (I'm not a C expert).
Apart from editing the src and recompiling, what is your advice?
(I also submitted the same message to the issues on apt-dater repository, see https://github.com/
DE-IBH/apt-dater/issues/188)
Thank you
Could you test the attached patch?
