reassign 289071 libncurses5 retitle 289071 endwin doesn't do what it should (maybe PuTTY related?) thanks
The documentation of endwin() states:
A program should always call endwin before exiting
or escaping from curses mode temporarily. This
routine restores tty modes, moves the cursor to
the lower left-hand corner of the screen and
resets the terminal into the proper non-visual
mode. Calling refresh or doupdate after a tempo-
rary escape causes the program to resume visual
mode.
aptitude calls endwin() before calling dpkg. If this doesn't do the above,
it's the fault of either the terminal or ncurses. I suspect PuTTY, because I
can reproduce this 100% in that environment, but it's possible that there's
something more general going on since the original submitter claimed to be
using a standard xterm.
