Bug#996329: pal: re glib error(s)

[Oliver Schode <oliver.schode@online.de>]

Package: pal
Version: 0.4.3-9
Followup-For: Bug #996329

Actually appears to be the same bug as reported earlier. I don't think
it's important, the duplicate should be closed.

Interactive mode obviously got never fully implemented to put it mildly,
and what's left is aging badly. Not too surprising considering the
application is 20 years old, the current version about 15 and the
package is unmaintained. If the curses interface wasn't entirely useless
by now, its usefulness could still be doubted. It should have been left
out from the package, that would've also removed the ncurses
dependencies, perhaps glib's too. Pal is still doing its trick as a
simple command line utility, or what it originally was likely intented
to be. But that would probably call for a maintainer. At least it should
be made clear that the .pal files are supposed to be maintained
manually, it's easy to crash the whole thing from the TUI, not much
harder to garble your event files.

Regards,
Oliver
