No... I do not know what you mean by this. Can you post some output or a
screenshot?
It'd be kind of difficult since the problem is mostly about what doesn't show
up.
It's like when you turn on flow control with ^S, type 'ls; echo foo' and press
enter, then press ^Q.
Except that I'm free to press enter and see the feedback on my scrollback
buffer from the commands that I press, whithout seeing a "preview" of it to the
right of my $PS1.
I've now isolated the problem and it does not happen with every su
operation, only
when cancelling the su password prompt.
Here's what I'm doing:
1. I uninstall asciidoc
2. curl http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacman-git/pacman-git.tar.gz | tar xz
3. cd pacman-git; makepkg -s
4. When it shows the su password prompt, I hit ^C
What I type is now invisible until I `reset`. Does not happen with sudo nor
from regular calls like `su -c ls` from my shell.
ah... I can replicate. This is weird. Perhaps some sort of pipe is
still capturing the output?
btw, I cannot get master nor latest tag to pipe files named after versioned
deps to $startdir; e.g. $startdir/4. makepkg falling back to su still calls
pacman -T correctly.
1. update ABS
2. cp /var/abs/community-testing/pacman-contrib/* .
3. adjust dependencies to be depends=('pacman>4')
4. makepkg -s, type in your password. It will reinstall pacman from the
repos and then bail because on missing deps
5. notice file named "4" in you directory containing pacman output...
