Bug#509402: conffile handling prompt misses trailing space
tag 509402 unreproducible moreinfo thanks Hi!

No, it was in gnome-terminal and it gets printed that way right from the start, without any input, backspaces or otherwise. I just typed the 'd' in the example, to make the lack of trailing whitespace visible in the bugreport. :) Can you reproduce this? Otherwise I cannot see how this is happening. Are you sure this is not a font problem or something wrong with your terminal emulator? Marking appropriately for now. You can use this test case: wget http://people.debian.org/~guillem/pkg-conff-prompt-0.deb dpkg -i pkg-conff-prompt-0.deb wget http://people.debian.org/~guillem/pkg-conff-prompt-1.deb dpkg -i pkg-conff-prompt-1.deb this should give you a conffile prompt. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
