Versions: 3.4.3-13 and 3.4.3-14

Hi,
Whenever I run
$ nethack
to launch nethack and select all the beginning roles etc. I am faced with a
stats bar that is missing the turns counter.

It looks like this:
P1xel the Hatamoto     St:14 Dx:14 Co:18 In:11 Wi:9 Ch:9  Lawful
Dlvl:1  $:0  HP:15(15) Pw:2(2) AC:4  Exp:1

When it should look like this:
P1xel the Skirmisher    St:18/06 Dx:13 Co:18 In:7 Wi:9 Ch:7  Lawful
Dlvl:3  $:185 HP:0(52) Pw:15(15) AC:6  Exp:5
T:1750

(note the T is missing)

I suggest possibly recompiling nethack from source and removing some
patches (modifications) as they may be the cause of the bug.

This is the ouput for uname -a

Linux p1xel-Latitude-E6230 3.8.0-19-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 17
18:19:42 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux


Thanks.

Hi Mariusz,

On closer inspection, I don't think this is caused by any packaging
errors. AFAIK, the turn counter is provided by the "time" option [1],
which defaults to false upstream, and we leave it unchanged in the
Debian package. This is also runtime configurable rather than a
compile time option.

Oh oops I'm so sorry for the inconvenience!
It's working fine now. Just that the Windows and NAO both have turns
automatically on, so i was a bit shocked when I didn't see the turns
counter.

Thanks,
Mariusz

Hi Mariusz,

First off, please remember to cc: 718773@bugs.debian.org when replying
to me (or anybody else who wants to comment on your bug report),
otherwise your reply won't reach the BTS and will only end up in my
private inbox (defeating the purpose of a publicly accessible bug
tracker)

Retitled bug accordingly. As noted previously, this option is disabled
by default upstream, but I don't think it affects bones/save
compatibility (someone correct me if I'm wrong), and it's easy to turn
on by default in the nethackrc files shipped as
/etc/nethack/nethackrc.{tty,x11,lisp}. Users can also turn it on
locally in their own ~/.nethackrc file.

Regards,
Vincent

I'm not sure if there is a good reason to add this configuration option
in the debian install. Users can easily enable it, and it's simplest to
defer to upstream for default configuration options like this.

We can mark as wontfix unless there are objections.
