I've been gone for about 3 weeks and did a dist-upgrade (testing) last
night (Sunday, Sept 23rd) when I got back.
It was a big one obviously (162 packages), but the only issues that
have emerged so far have to do with Eterm. Two issues in fact.
[1] One is that the foreground font is horrible (grainy and blurred).
[2] The second is more mysterious. I get this message when I call Eterm:
mesg: error: tty device is not owned by group `tty'
Then the characters 1:2c are printed after the prompt.
This warning comes only from Eterm (not from a login at the console,
nor from xterm, nor from rxvt). Similarly the font problem is
particular to Eterm.
I call Eterm like this:
Eterm -v --font 8x16 -O -0 --shade 25 --foreground-color black --login-shell &
Has anyone else seen these problems?
Thanks for any help,
Jim McCloskey
