2018-08-13 17:32:20 Norbert description The CLEX 3.15 package has worked well for many years, but in 16.04 it fails. CLEX 3.15 reached end-of-life in May 2011, but there is no Ubuntu package for the current CLEX release, 4.6. The CLEX author has posted a workaround at http://www.clex.sk/, though he believes the problem is not in CLEX but in ncurses. CLEX author will investigate with ncurses developers, but shouldn't there be a new Ubuntu package for the current CLEX release? Steps to reproduce: 1. Install `clex` on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 2. Try to launch `clex` Expected results: * `clex` is opened and shows files and directories Actual results: * `clex` does no open, shows message in the terminal: ``` $ clex Starting CLEX 3.15 Terminating CLEX: Cannot read the keyboard input ``` ---- The CLEX 3.15 package has worked well for many years, but in 16.04 it fails.
