> directhex commented on 1 Feb > Looks like a big ol' new ABI in NCurses 6. > https://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ > gfhcs commented 24 days ago > Workaround: On OpenSUSE Tumbleweed I was able to downgrade the > packages "terminfo" and "terminfo-base" from 6.1 to 5.9 without > breaking any (encoded) dependencies. Now terminal output with mono works > again. Good luck, s.
