Description samurai.no.dojo 2017-11-15 16:36:05 UTC
app-misc/vlock-2.2.3 has CLEAR_SCREEN="`echo -e '\033[H\033[J'`" on line 20, which is not compatible with app-shells/dash-0.5.8.2 used as /bin/sh eselect.
It emits " -e '\033[H\033[J'" just before locking prompt (This TTY is now locked.)
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Emerge app-misc/vlock, app-shells/dash and app-eselect/eselect-sh
2.Set dash as /bin/sh alternative "eselect sh set dash"
3.Run vlock
Actual Results:  
vlock output "-e \033[H\033[JThis TTY is now locked.

Please press [ENTER] to unlock."
And all previous input and output of terminal is visible!



Expected Results:  
vlock output "This TTY is now locked.

Please press [ENTER] to unlock."
And terminal "cleared".

Let me know if $(emerge --info) is needed. (I doubt it ;-) )
