Justification: breaks the whole system
Hi,
Since I've upgraded ncurses-bin (and other ncurses packages) to the lastest
version, my whole system is broken.
Lots of init scripts are failing :
# invoke-rc.d networking restart
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... /usr/bin/tput: invalid option -- 2
usage: tput [-V] [-S] [-T term] capname
tput's command-line parsing hasn't changed since before 5.6 (December).
(what was the previous version you had installed?).
Did usplash change recently?
invoke-rc.d: initscript networking, action "restart" failed.
#
It seems that this bug is related to :
- ncurses-bin: tput now fails at boot time since the last upgrade
- lsb-base: calls tput
- usplash: activate "fancy boot messages" in lsb-base.
Please note that if I remove usplash or if I downgrade ncurses, my system
works as usual.
