Package: ncurses-base Version: 5.7+20090803-2 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
ctrl-c does no longer cause SIGINT. Debugging this issue: When I create a new xterm (or rxvt) as a fork from my windowmanager (awesome) the terminal shows the broken behaviour. I have still some xterms that are not affected open. Those were started in 2009. Using strace on both working and a broken xterm show that both send \3 to the terminal fd when I press ctrl-c. stty on a working xterm looks like: speed 38400 baud; line = 0; On a broken xterm it looks like: speed 38400 baud; line = 0; -brkint -imaxbel Using stty brkint imaxbel or stty sane does not solve the issue. Also stty intr ^C does not help. Starting a xterm from an working xterm results in a working xterm. Starting a xterm from a broken xterm results in a broken xterm. Starting a xterm, starting vim within it and then doing :!xterm<CR> produces a working xterm. Saving the environment of a working xterm, loading it in a broken xterm and then starting a new xterm results in a broken xterm. Do you have any other ideas for debugging the issue? If you feel that I have assigned the bug report to the wrong package, please reassign it to the correct package.
