actually, the more I think about this, I'm not sure this is man's problem, but it could be screen, could be termcap stuff, whatever - reassigning up to distribution to let them make that call since i've tagged enough bugs onto bero and since he'll be catching up once he gets back anyway [root@localhost root]# rpm -qf $(which man) /etc/termcap man-1.5j-8 termcap-11.0.1-13 fixed with the man k release + groff in rawhide. |
Description of Problem: I'm putty'd in from win2k to a 7.3 box and with the $TERM of screen, everything is working fine on the 7.3 box - when I ssh from that session to a Limbo box, the man doesn't work right - I'd guess related to the unicode switchover, newt/minislang issues, etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-1.5j-8 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. screen session on 7.3 or earlier 2. ssh into Limbo box 3. man rpm (or whatever) Actual Results: some corrupted characters, the "first page" isn't a page, stops in the middle of a line. Trying to cut and paste it, here it is: ******** [root@localhost root]# man rpm RPM(8) Red Hat Linux RPM(8) NAME rpm b RPM Package Manager SYNOPSIS QUERYING AND VERIFYING PACKAGES: rpm {b {b1mbb ******** when i hit the spacebar the first time, the display changes to: ******** [root@localhost root]# man rpm RPM(8) Red Hat Linux RPM(8) NAME rpm b RPM Package Manager SYNOPSIS QUERYING AND VERIFYING PACKAGES: rpm {b {b1mbb1mbPACKAGE_FILE ... rpm {bb1mquerybdes] [b ******** Expected Results: Should work like 7.3 did, no corruption, real paging, etc. Additional Information: currently doing this with putty from a win2k laptop, but I'd imagine is reproducible from a "normal" screen session - I'll try to confirm that tomorrow, but it's 5am and I really need to get some sleep sometime soon.
