Package: ncurses-bin,perl-doc
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
perl-doc 5.24.1-7
ncurses-bin 6.0+20170708-1
Since the upgrade of ncurses (I'm not sure if already with 6.0+20170701-1
but for sure with 6.0+20170708-1) `perldoc $foo' doesn't work
anymore, as in: looks ugly.
To reproduce:
`perldoc perldoc' will show the same in $PAGER as `PAGER=cat perldoc
perldoc':
1NAME1
perldoc - Look up Perl documentation in Pod format.
1SYNOPSIS1
perldoc [-h] [-D] [-t] [-u] [-m] [-l] [-F]
[-i] [-V] [-T] [-r]
[-d destination_file]
[-o formatname]
[-M FormatterClassName]
[-w formatteroption:value]
[-n nroff-replacement]
[-X]
[-L language_code]
PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName|URL
So no *roff markup, and the =head1 formatted as "1$whatever1".
Niko mentioned on IRC:
"I'm guessing it's something to do with Term::Cap running infocmp -C",
so it's not clear if this is actually a bug in ncurses or in perl ...
Cheers,
gregor
