Package: libreadline7 Version: 7.0-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch upstream Forwarded: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2017-01/msg00002.html Control: affects -1 twinkle-console
readline() in 7.0-1 calls pselect() with an empty sigmask, thereby unblocking all signals beforehand. This causes twinkle-console to abort after a few seconds, due to a now-unblocked SIGALRM being delivered to the main thread, instead of the one calling sigwait(). Upstream has posted a one-line patch to fix this issue. Is it too late to have it applied before the freeze? Otherwise, twinkle-console will be pretty much unusable in stretch. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/3 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages libreadline7 depends on: ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20161126-1 ii readline-common 7.0-2 libreadline7 recommends no packages. libreadline7 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
