Package: ncurses-base
Version: 5.7+20090803-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
ctrl-c does no longer cause SIGINT.
Debugging this issue:
When I create a new xterm (or rxvt) as a fork from my windowmanager
(awesome) the terminal shows the broken behaviour.
I have still some xterms that are not affected open. Those were started
in 2009.
Using strace on both working and a broken xterm show that both send \3
to the terminal fd when I press ctrl-c.
stty on a working xterm looks like:
speed 38400 baud; line = 0;
On a broken xterm it looks like:
speed 38400 baud; line = 0;
-brkint -imaxbel
Using stty brkint imaxbel or stty sane does not solve the issue. Also
stty intr ^C does not help.
Starting a xterm from an working xterm results in a working xterm.
Starting a xterm from a broken xterm results in a broken xterm.
Starting a xterm, starting vim within it and then doing :!xterm<CR>
produces a working xterm.
Saving the environment of a working xterm, loading it in a broken xterm
and then starting a new xterm results in a broken xterm.
Do you have any other ideas for debugging the issue?
If you feel that I have assigned the bug report to the wrong package,
please reassign it to the correct package.

Closing, but please don't hesitate to follow up if it happens again
(with a new or an old bash version).
