Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-2 Severity: normal
Aptitude fails to check if the terminal has the necessary capabilities when entering visual mode. I.e. it will happily start the visual interface on a dumb terminal, that is in an Emacs shell buffer. It is not really usable then :-( and has to be killed. That's not so much of a problem if aptitude was started without a command-line action, but becomes really annoying if the user first invokes aptitude in command-line mode and later tries to enter visual mode at a prompt. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.31 Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3 0.5.28.6 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-1.2-5c102 1.2.5-4 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
