Bug#34939: dpkg: dselect kills itself on terminal resize while in the "Select" stage
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.1.1
When using dselect in the "select" stage, (when the packages lists are
up, not when the initial help screen is visible), resizing
an X terminal (Eterm specifically, but also occurs in an xterm)
causes dselect to die with:
dselect: getch failed: Interrupted system call
This also occurs with the version straight out of slink.
