Hi  John,

I am surprised that FBB 704j can even work on a modern distro.
You had better trying the last FBB release.
See my recent posting on this list.

Subject: Fix for y2k bug

Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2012 18:56:06 +0100

Hi,
  It would be great to get John's package, or a newer version in,
not least because it contains an upstream fix for a Y2K problem
that triggers a stack overflow error if built with such checks
(as the Ubuntu binaries are); it misprints the year as 112
and thus overflows the buffer for the message.

Note I did have to swizzle line 163 of src/Makefile so that
the -lncurses was at the end.

Dave

Subject: New version of FBB

Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2014 22:17:02 +0100

I have started looking at packaging the latest version of FBB.

To be honest the upstream source package is a mess, actually, it's worse
than that.

I'm talking with upstream but he seems reluctant to fix even glaring
problems like needing to be root to even view some of the source files!

I'm making progress on getting a build-able package but I don't have any
way to test the end result. I'll be asking for help with that.

If upstream refuses to cooperate then I'll probably declare them
'hostile' and request the removal of fbb and associated packages from
Debian.
