[Bug 1537528] Re: byobu-config segfault with screen backend

[ Christian Ehrhardt ]

That would imply it was resolved in slang2 (libslang2) 2.3.0-4 which is
in everything later than Xenial.

The change to consider for backporting would be

/init-crash.patch?id=e633289c99ede705274a1b337a0deff5f8e08779

We should try to build a ppa to check if the referenced bug in comment
#7 really would hold a fix to this byobu issue - setting server-next.

Title:
  byobu-config segfault with screen backend

Status in byobu package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in newt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in byobu package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  When running byobu with the screen backend byobu-config segfaults when
  trying to open it by pressing F9.

  Steps to reproduce.

  1. Configure byobu to use screen for the backend
  2. Press F9 to open the configuration menu
  3. The console flashes then returns to your shell window.

  Running byobu-config manually within a byobu screen session shows it's
  segfaulting. It does not crash running it outside of screen.
