Package: pal Version: 0.4.3-9 Followup-For: Bug #996329 Actually appears to be the same bug as reported earlier. I don't think it's important, the duplicate should be closed.
Interactive mode obviously got never fully implemented to put it mildly, and what's left is aging badly. Not too surprising considering the application is 20 years old, the current version about 15 and the package is unmaintained. If the curses interface wasn't entirely useless by now, its usefulness could still be doubted. It should have been left out from the package, that would've also removed the ncurses dependencies, perhaps glib's too. Pal is still doing its trick as a simple command line utility, or what it originally was likely intented to be. But that would probably call for a maintainer. At least it should be made clear that the .pal files are supposed to be maintained manually, it's easy to crash the whole thing from the TUI, not much harder to garble your event files.
