Package: mondo
Version: 2.08-2-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

The interactive mode of mondoarchive displays a (text-mode) progress
dialog, which is a great feature.  Unfortunately, some sub-processes
emit garbage that clobbers the screen and makes the dialog impossible
to read.  I attach a screenshot as example.

I can think of two strategies to mitigate this.  Perhaps you want to
do both.  Strategy #1 is to make sure all subprocesses have their stdout
and stderr redirected appropriately, possibly to the log file.  Strategy
#2 is to clear and re-draw the screen completely before each status
update, to guard against failure to apply strategy #1.

Cheers,
-Steve
