Source: screen Version: 5.0.1-1.1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] User: [email protected] Usertags: m68k User: [email protected] Usertags: powerpc ppc64 User: [email protected] Usertags: s390x User: [email protected] Usertags: sparc64 Hi, since the latest update, screen no longer works on big-endian systems. Tested on both ppc64 and sparc64, running "screen bash" will start bash inside a screen, but it's no longer possible to interact with the shell, i.e. typing commands. Downgrading screen to the last 4.x release, fixes the problem immediately. Thanks, Adrian -- .''`.
