Bug#770369: Bug#737491: eterm: Occurs on upgrade to Jessie from Wheezy
(I am writing to bugs #737491 and #770369 as the fix is the same)
Dear Andy,
I think this bug is the same than bug #770369.
This bug is close in stretch (testing). As it is expected the release
stretch occurs soon, the easiest way is:
1. To wait for the release of stretch to get this problem fixed when you
upgrade from Wheezy to Stretch.
2. Downgrade the Eterm package to the version in Jessie so you can use
it until the upgrade to Stretch.
I am trying to maintain Eterm package, but my process of learning to do
it properly is getting a little long so
I have not prepared a new Eterm package.
I have checked the fix proposed and my local Eterm package is working in
Jessie-amd64 (thanks to Charles Gorand and Arnaud Ceyroll for the fix).
Andy, if you want I can send you my local package to your e-mail, so you
can use it.
For Santiago Vila (or other developers) I have modified the source
package in Jessie by performing the fix suggested by Arnaud and Charles
to the command.c file, just
recompiled in my Jessie system and the new Eterm package is working
again. Maybe it is worth to propose an update for Jessie so the package
will be usable again
for all the users. I will have some spare time after the middle of June,
so I would be able to apply the fix in the correct way (I have just
edited the source to test it, I have to read deeper the maint-guide to
do it in the right way).
After the release of Stretch I will try to fix the UTF8 problem in Eterm
to finally maintain this package.
Sincerely,
Jose
