Package: gpm Version: 1.20.3~pre3-3 Severity: normal hi,
i just finished a run of aptitude (update/upgrade). i do my aptitude run, then when i hit "Press return to continue." and do so, aptitude hangs just before it clears the screen to show its window. when gpm is stopped, it continues to run normally. this also happens with other apps that are built with libgpmg support (w3m, others). when stopped, aptitude does this in syslog: ===== Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: *** info Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: /dev/gpmctl: No such file or directory Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: *** info Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: /dev/gpmctl: No such file or directory Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: *** err Apr 16 13:02:05 acahkos aptitude: Oh, oh, it's an error! possibly I die!
