Bug#29672: dpkg: dselect crashes when the xterm window is resized
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.31
When you start dselect as root and then switch to the select mode, pass
the help screen and then resize the xterm window (I use fvwm95 as window
manager) is quits using the following error message:
dselect: getch failed: Interrupted system call
As long as dselect is unable to adjust its data window, I would prefer
that it doesn't do anything.
Thanks, Alexander Schwartz (alexander.schwartz@gmx.net)
