Hi,

I'm running a somewhat recent stable-14/amd64 (refreshed 27-Dec-2023), and I wonder if someone can explain what is happening...

I've got a dev-host which I use as a repo-builder. I have discovered that if I have linux_enable="YES" on the repo-builder, the resultant executable from the sysutils/screen package produced will only behave as expected on other hosts that also have linux_enable="YES". On hosts where linux_enable is *not* defined (ie linux_enable="NO"), `screen' will start up and then immediatly quit. There are no core-dumps, or any other noticeable error-messages.

If I set linux_enable="NO" on the repo-builder, the executable from the sysutils/screen package produced will work as expected on _all_ hosts, ie linux_enable=YES|NO.

Can someone explain why this is so?

Cheers.
