Package: xterm Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 Severity: normal
With the old xterm, "xterm -e 'while true; echo foo; sleep 5; done'" would work just fine, now xterm pops up for a split-second and vanishes. "xterm -e '/bin/bash'" seems to work fine though. "xterm -e '/bin/bash -c \"while true; echo foo; sleep 5; done\"'" however does again not work. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.12-ac7-vs1.9.5-htbatm-imq Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.4-8 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 X Window System Session Management ii libxaw8 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxp6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 X Window System printing extension ii libxpm4 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 X pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 X Window System client data Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii xutils 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 X Window System utility programs -- debconf information: xterm/clobber_xresource_file: true xterm/xterm_needs_devpts: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
