Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.3-34
Severity: grave
With the latest upgrade of its dependencies, w3m is now 100 unusable on Debian.
$ w3m
w3m: symbol lookup error: w3m: undefined symbol: Gpm_Wgetch
We read in
http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#using_gpm_lib
"w3m contains some contorted code to exploit this, by abusing the
library interface: it defines several symbols that conflict with ncurses
to intercept calls to wgetch, while using other symbols from ncurses as
is. (There is also documented Gpm_Getch, but it is no longer present in
the GPM source code)."
Anyway I can no longer use w3m on Debian. It won't even start.
I can't even do
$ echo ooo|TERM=dumb w3m -dump
w3m: symbol lookup error: w3m: undefined symbol: Gpm_Wgetch
