Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-11
Severity: important
Hi,
I fail to start aptitude and also Midnight Commander (mc) from inside a
screen session. Whenever I start "screen -U" and in it mc or aptitude I
just get a blank screen, no color, no text, nothing (but the cursor is
repositioned). I cannot even interrupt mc via Ctrl+C (works with
aptitude).
This happens since I upgraded from Etch to Lenny.
I'm not sure that this problem is in screen, please reassign if
necessary. Please note that mc doesn't depend on ncurses, so I could
not file it against a more suitable package.
Jens
