Probably I'll ad a versioned Breaks against dialog to libtinfo5 so that users don't experience problems after partial upgrades.

Before my changes, putp had (incorrectly for some time) written using ncurses's own file descriptor passed in from newterm. I noticed/fixed that while ironing out the changes related to 20120825 I'll fix this in dialog by ensuring that it uses the same file descriptor as that used for newterm. -- Thomas E.

I'll put together a fix for this one tonight/tomorrow. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hopefully it's not too late. Unfortunately it _was_ too late, ncurses migrated to testing today so this problem will affect testing users until dialog is fixed. :-( Cheers, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

severity 708829 serious thanks I don't know how many users will be affected by this, so just to be safe, I'm going to mark this as "serious", only to prevent this to propagate to testing.

(the fix for this problem will be to add an fflush in dialog to work as intended) -- Thomas E.

Package: dialog Version: 1.2-20121230-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, after ncurses packages upgraded to version 5.9+20130504-1 my shell script with dialogs stopped working. After some investigation I found, that dialog sends terminal control sequence for maybe clearing terminal to stdout. Consider: zito@bobek:~$ dialog --stdout --menu 'my menu' 15 60 0 first "1st menu item" second "2nd menu item" >/tmp/x zito@bobek:~$ xxd /tmp/x 000: 1b5b 324a 1b5b 3f34 376c 1b38 1b5b 481b .[2J.[?47l.8.[H. 010: 5b32 4a66 6972 7374 [2Jfirst Normal behaviour is back when ncurses packages downgraded to 5.9-10 version. Despite this fact I reported this problem against dialog, I suspect dialog maybe uses something from ncurses incorrectly and this problem occurred now with some change in ncurses.
