Bug#455220: aptitude: "Reading package list" percentage shown without % sign

[Daniel Burrows]

  I've attached a simple test case where curses / the terminal does the
wrong thing.  I'll file bugs against gnome-terminal and konsole: since
the Linux console and xterm behave as expected, I'll assume for now that
this is a terminal bug and not a curses bug.

#include <ncurses.h>

#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  int width;
  int height;

  const char *msg1 = "0%", *msg2 = "50%";
  int msg1len, msg2len;

  WINDOW *root;
  WINDOW *child;

  msg1len = strlen(msg1);
  msg2len = strlen(msg2);

  root = initscr();

  width = getmaxx(root);
  height = getmaxy(root);

  mvaddstr(height - 1, width - msg1len, msg1);

  refresh();

  mvaddstr(height - 1, width - msg2len, msg2);

  refresh();

  sleep(10);

  return 0;
}
