Package: openssh-server Version: 1:6.0p1-1 Severity: wishlist Users who use some kind of non-standard terminal emulator (on Debian, this means anything which sets TERM to some value for which no entry exists in ncurses-base) often experience problems when connecting to remote systems, since the terminfo description might be lacking there. Many terminal emulators set TERM to xterm to work around the problem, often with rather suboptimal results (e.g. the End key misbehaves in putty in the default configuration).
Installing ncurses-term on the server nicely solves this problem for the user, so it might make sense to add it to openssh-server's Recommends. While ncurses-term is of priority standard already, and sysadmins who do not install standard packages are likely to disable the automatic installation of recommended packages as well, at least the users have a valid argument to persuade their admin of installing ncurses-term. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.4.1-rc1-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openssh-server depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.43 ii dpkg 1.16.3 ii libc6 2.13-32 ii libcomerr2 1.42.2-2 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.10.1+dfsg-1 ii libkrb5-3 1.10.1+dfsg-1 ii libpam-modules 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-4 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1c-1 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-23 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian6 ii openssh-client 1:6.0p1-1 ii procps 1:3.3.3-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-11 Versions of packages openssh-server recommends: ii openssh-blacklist 0.4.1 ii openssh-blacklist-extra 0.4.1 ii xauth 1:1.0.7-1 Versions of packages openssh-server suggests: pn molly-guard <none> pn monkeysphere <none> pn rssh <none> pn ssh-askpass <none> pn ufw <none> -- debconf information: ssh/vulnerable_host_keys: * ssh/use_old_init_script: true ssh/encrypted_host_key_but_no_keygen: ssh/disable_cr_auth: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
