Control: reassign -1 src:ncurses Control: affects -1 screen Control: forwarded -1 https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?68371 Control: tags -1 + upstream patch Control: found -1 5.0.1-2
Hi Paul, Thanks for your bug report & detailed analysis.I've confirmed this is missing, and have forwarded the bug upstream with a patch.
I'm reassigning this to the Ncurses Maintainers. As noted in README.terminfo, Debian uses terminfo from ncurses. We only ship screeninfo.src for reference/backup.
Cheers, Peter Dey
