Hi gregor,
Indeed, that could be related.
To confirm it, please consider editing/patching
lib/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Lib.pm by finding the "_doit" function and
commenting out the following line[1]:
"""
open(STDIN, '<', '/dev/null') or error("redirect STDIN failed: $!");
"""
If your test starts working again after that has been removed, then we
confirmed that is the problem.
Can you elaborate a bit more on what libterm-termkey-perl expects from
STDIN here? A tty perhaps? Does/did it work under nohup (without the
debhelper work around to make nohup work)?
Thanks,
~Niels
