Package: nvi Version: 1.79-22 Severity: normal ex aborts if a terminal type is set it doesn't know, while as far as I know it should disregard TERM if called in batch mode according to POSIX.
Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ export TERM=weirdterm [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ nex nex: weirdterm: unknown terminal type [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ nex -s nex: weirdterm: unknown terminal type ex aborting is a problem if ex scripts are called from within buildd because there the terminal type is 'unknown', usually resulting in a build failure.
