You would appear to be correct.  It seems usually to work the first
time for me, but not any subsequent times (I'm running dselect started
from bash in an xterm).

This is definitely not a bug in dselect, since dselect doesn't touch
SIGTSTP.  It is therefore a bug in ncurses-developer, and I shall
reassign it.

GRRRR.  I *hate* ncurses.  Why is it so full of bugs ?

Ian.

Subject: ^Z doesn''t do the right thing under dselect

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.0.3

^Z doesn't do the right thing under dselect.  For example, when configuring packages,
^Z brings dselect back up and there's no obvious way of resuming the previous dpkg
session.
