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

[Jeremy Bicha]

** Description changed:

  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 the updated mono packages.
  Install pdfmod.
  From gnome-terminal, run
  $ pdfmod
  The app should start.
  
  Regression Potential
  -------------------
- 
+ This is a cherry-picked commit (from a newer mono version) that was applied in Debian in May.
  
  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.
+ 
+ See the Debian and upstream bugs for more info.
+ 
+ I believe Ubuntu's default bashrc sets xterm-256color but Debian's
+ doesn't.
