Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: ncurses (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic ** Changed in: ncurses (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ncurses in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772872 Title: Provide screen.xterm-256color and rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo entries in ncurses-base Status in ncurses package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ncurses source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: The gnome standard terminal emulator (gnome-terminal) sets TERM=xterm- 256color, and screen sets it to screen.xterm-256color, resulting in an usuable TERM setting, because the terminfo settings are not available by default. This patch includes the screen.xterm-256color and rxvt- unicode-256color settings in ncurses-base, resulting in working screen settings out-of-the-box. Regression potential: The size of ncurses-base is increased by 3500 bytes (unpacked). The debian-installer packages might need adjustment for the additional size. Acceptance criteria: The package builds, and provides the new terminfo entries in ncurses-base (note that no Breaks/Replaces are needed, because these are installed in a different path). Also backport the fix for security issue CVE-2018-10754, fixing a segfault, adding a null-pointer check in _nc_parse_entry to handle an error when a use-name is invalid syntax.
