Bug#529188: sup-mail: ncurses-ruby1.8 upgrade breaks search
Jack Hill
Version: 0.7-1
Severity: normal
When libncurses-ruby1.8 was upgraded from version 1.1-3 to 1.2.2-1 search (via \ from within sup) breaks. Instead of
providing a search prompt sup crashes with the error ruby: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/ncurses_bin.so: undefined symbol: funcall
Manualy downgrading libncurses-ruby1.8 to version 1.1-3 fixes the problem.

This appears to be an issue in ncurses-ruby; until it is updated, I've placed
updated packages at http://apt.rupamsunyata.org/sup/ (0.1 is just the new,
fixed upstream version; 0.2 also uses ncursesw).

this has been fixed as with 1.2.3:
+ * $Id: ncurses_wrap.c,v 1.17 2009/06/25 21:53:57 t-peters Exp $
*
* This file was adapted from the original ncurses header file which
* has the following copyright statements:
@@ -210,7 +210,7 @@
/// Portable (1.8,1.9) determination of array length (calling #length)
long rbncurs_array_length(VALUE array)
{
- return NUM2LONG(funcall(array, rb_intern("length"), 0));
+ return NUM2LONG(rb_funcall(array, rb_intern("length"), 0));
}
but 1.2.3 also seems to include some debugging code which was (i think
accidentaly left in the code:
+ FILE * f = fopen("/tmp/xlog","a");
+ fprintf(f, "Callig select\n");
+ fclose(f);
ill talk to upstream and upload a new version as soon as he releases it without
this code (i dont want to mess around with dpatch just for those 3 lines).
bye,
