[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1797727] [NEW] ncurses in cosmic breaks many Mono apps

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Impact
------
Many mono apps don't run in cosmic when run from a terminal. Although mono apps aren't as popular or as well-maintained as they used to be, this is still bad.

Test Case
---------
Install the updated ncurses packages. You may need to log out and log back in (or reboot).
Install pdfmod.
>From gnome-terminal, run 
$ pdfmod
The app should start.

Regression Potential
-------------------
This change was applied in Debian in 6.1+20180714-1 in July.

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ncurses/commit/3f3e26996d

Other Info
----------
I noticed this while working on pdfmod for LP: #1771025 . The only app listed there that runs before this fix in cosmic is bareftp.

message.
