Description:
One of the apps that uses perl-term-animation (asciiquarium in the AUR) no longer works since ncurses was upgraded to 5.8. Another user reports that the app works fine if you downgrade back to 5.7. However, the error message that occurs when running asciiquarium seems to flag perl-term-animation as the culprit: Can't call method "getmaxx" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Term/Animation.pm line 495. Seems like the animation module no longer works correctly with the new version of ncurses. Any idea for cause or fix? Additional info: * package version(s) asciiquarium 1.0-2 perl-term-animation 2.4-4 ncurses 5.8-1 * config and/or log files etc. none Steps to reproduce: Run asciiquarium. It failes with above error message. |
This task depends upon
use Curses;
$win = new Curses;
$win->addstr(10, 10, 'foo');
$win->refresh;
