Hello,
After Eduard Bloch's call I did some testing for the sparc boot
floppies. I have a Sun SparcStation 4, connected to PC via serial
tty. I use minicom for control.
When dselect is run from base-config the text is scrolling through the
top-line and I get one line in top of my screen/xterminal:
> ? = help menu Space = exit help . = next help or a help page key
Later on the output is really unusable.
If I finish the installation and start dselect from a bash, I could not
reproduce the problem. To do further research on the problem I changed
/etc/inittab to
T0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/termwrap /bin/bash
Then I can see the nasty effect, vim is also unusable. If I use getty
everthing works fine.
Finally I traced it down to termwrap, which sets "export TERM=linux". If
I do "export TERM=vt102"
everything is ok, exept lines in dselect are not showing up as lines, e.g.
> Ä All packages Ä
> ÄÄÄ Up to date installed packages ÄÄÄ
> ÄÄÄÄÄ Up-to-date Required packages ÄÄÄÄÄ
> ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Up-to-date Required packages in section base ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
The problem is termwrap, which does
> case `/usr/bin/tty` in
> /dev/tty|/dev/console|/dev/tty[1-9]*)
> TERMINAL=console
> ;;
> /dev/tty[p-za-e]*)
> TERMINAL=pseudo
> if [ ! -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then
> TERMINAL=x
> else
> case $TERM in
> rxvt|xterm*|kterm) TERMINAL=x;;
> esac
> fi
> ;;
> /dev/tty[A-Z]*|/dev/cu*)
> TERMINAL=serial
> ;;
> esac
because
> neptun:/# tty
> /dev/console
it might also be tty's fault.
Since this affects the usability of dselect during the initial
configuration the severity of this report could perhaps also be set to
important.
greetings,
Wolfi

Description:
base-config - Debian base configuration package
Closes: 181394 201869 206347 206438 207949 208690
Changes:
base-config (1.70) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Peña:
- Updated spanish translation and also worded properly the GTM question
(thanks to Jorge Ferrer for pointing that out :-)
* Petter Reinholdtsen
- Updated fr.po, patch from Christian Perrier. (Closes: #206438)
- Set hostname and update /etc/hostname if it is unset. (Closes: #201869)
- Try to add ISO-8859-13 support into termwrap. Depend on
console-data >= 2002.12.04dbs-16 to get the console charmap for
ISO-8859-13. (Closes: #206347)
- Try to add ISO-8859-2 support into termwrap.
- Fix typos in console charset restore (iso1 is wrong, use iso01
instead).
- Try harder to detect serial console, using fgconsole from
console-tools. Adding dependency on console-tools.
Use TERM=vt100 instead of TERM=linux on serial
consoles. (Closes: #181394)
- Add draft 97start-xdm to start X if it is configured. It is currently
disabled.
- Make sure to use current debconf priority (and not priority low) when
reconfiguring exim4.
- Updated Japanese debconf translation. Patch from Kenshi Muto.
(Closes: #208690)
* Joey Hess
- Updated pt_BR debconf po file from Andre Luis Lopes. Closes: #207949
- Modified 77exim to dpkg-reconfigure exim4, if it is installed.
If not, then no MTA is set up at all. exim 3 is not an option, sorry.
This is now out of my hands and in the hands of debootstrap to get exim4
installed. (Bug #208047)
