Comment 16 for bug 1509081

Yup, 15.10 seems to. I have never edited the /etc/nanorc file, so I guess it was just updated to the default package maintainers version as per the usual. So the grep gives the obvious output:

reedy@ko-kra:~$ grep locking /etc/nanorc
set locking
reedy@ko-kra:~$

Yeah, I ended up applying the patch by hand. I guess debugging tired (on unfamiliar source code). I should have really noticed what the issue was!

Will try the patch again on the source from the 15.10 apt repo

Will post the ./configure stuff to nano-devel; that's fine by me. Certainly no config on my part, rather than just installing the necessary packages (libncurses dev packages, dh-autoconf etc)
