--- Begin Message ---Package: libncurses5 Version: 5.8-1 Severity: important The API for newwin() is documented as: Calling newwin creates and returns a pointer to a new window with the given number of lines and columns. The upper left-hand corner of the window is at line begin_y, column begin_x. If either nlines or ncols is zero, they default to LINES - begin_y and COLS - begin_x. A new full-screen win‐ dow is created by calling newwin(0,0,0,0). But starting with ncurses 5.8, ncurses/base/lib_newwin.c has the following code on line 144: if (begy < 0 || begx < 0 || num_lines <= 0 || num_columns <= 0) returnWin(0); This causes a call of newwin(0,0,0,0) to return an error. Previous versions of ncurses contained this instead which permitted the all zeroes call: if (begy < 0 || begx < 0 || num_lines < 0 || num_columns < 0) returnWin(0); Now to go file some bugs against programs which aren't checking return codes properly... -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libncurses5 depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-13 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib Versions of packages libncurses5 recommends: ii libgpm2 1.20.4-3.3 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib libncurses5 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
