Bug#596809: xterm: command with error, cannot be repeated with up arrow

[yellowprotoss <yellowprotoss@gmail.com>]

Package: xterm
Version: 261-1
Severity: important

Hello,

I do this 
# exec irpsion5 -s reboots.log 
No IRDA device found

it gives an error. 

I wanna repeat it, so I press "Up" on keyboard to get this failed command again into prompt, and It is the previous one, not the :
exec irpsion5 -s reboots.log

it is reproducible with all failed comamnds. and this was a given example.

In stable, it works nicely those failed command and pressing up arrow on keyboard can show the bash history failed or not :(



best regards
