 Hmm, alright.

 Ah, right. And aptitude does behave false here too (last two lines from
strace):

write(2, "Uncaught exception: Unable to read from stdin: Bad file descriptor\n"..., 67) = 67
exit_group(-1)      = ?

 I guess we need to clone the bug to there, too, or rather libncurses
through which it seems to use gpm, it doesn't directly depend on libgpm.

 Not sure what other applications might be affected by it and should get
addressed, too ...

 Thanks,
