Package: gpm
Version: 1.20.3~pre3-2.1
Severity: important
Since the upgrade to 1.20.3~pre3-2.1, finch will not work with gpm
running. It hangs initializing its mouse support.
Investigation suggests that this is because gpm was not compiled with
--without-curses while ncurses was built with gpm support. Further
investigation suggests that this was caused by the fix for 468465.
the fix was to chmod +x configure which presumably was not +x
already because autoconf failed, but patches/050_dont_link_libcurses
patches configure.in, so the broken fix probably just made the
unpatched/regenerated configure run which doesn't disable curses
Thanks,
luke
