Package: ncurses-base Version: 5.7+20100313-4 Severity: serious X-Debbugs-CC: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org
The changes to the kFreeBSD console and the kbdcontrol package (see #605065 and #605777) need to be accompanied by changing the cons25 terminfo entry accordingly, otherwise ncurses-based programs severely misbehave. In particular, the backspace key deletes forwards instead of backwards which is totally unacceptable. In Emacs, the delete key malfunctions as well, inserting a tilde (~) instead of deleting the character under the cursor. The fix is to use the same definitions for kbs and kdch1 as on Linux, namely kbs=\177 and kdch1=\E[3~ (stock FreeBSD uses kbs=^H and kdch1=\177 which has been identified as a PITA in #605065). -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-rc6-nouveau+ (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
