Package: dpkg Version: 1.4.0.30 Severity: normal For several months I have had a problem with dselect, which I usually run under screen. Often, (about one in two times) after having [I]nstalled files, the dselect process stops, as if I had pressed ^Z. Here is a screen capture:
============================================================ Setting up xfstt (0.9.9-7) ... Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/xfstt ... Starting X TrueType Font Server: xfstt. Setting up libhdf4g (4.1r2-4) ... Press enter to continue. [1] Done remountusr rw [2]+ Stopped dselect # ============================================================ Another very strange problem is that sometimes (about one in ten times), after leaving dselect, the first characer entered is misteriously followed by a CR. For example, if I leave dselect and then enter "ls", the resulting output from bash is: ================ $ l bash: l: command not found $ s ================ Or, alternatively, if I press <up arrow> as the first thing after leaving dselect, the result is a quick error message that I don't see and a logout from bash. I don't know how to capture those behaviours, and I have not reported them until now because they seemed so strange and erratic to me, but now I see they tend to happen regularly, if not always.
