Hey guys,
I've some trouble with PAC and Debian 9 Stretch.. It isn't possible to connect with any SSH Server since the Debian 9 update.
I got this error:
user@debian9:~$ pac
PAC started (pac) with PID 17347

Experiencing the same and can't find any solution or any alternative to PAC. Please help somebody!
Debian 9 Stretch. The same problem (ssh, even the terminal does not work). I lost the ability to connect to all servers. Help needed. Or maybe there is another equally fantastic project with such great functionality? (https://github.com/perseo22/pacmanager/)

Hmm, bad news.. I restored a backup with Debian 8 and going to update later...
Same problem. Could not even get PAC to run on Debian 9 unitl I uninstalled and reinstalled. However, can not connect to anything via SSH or Telnet. It basically freezes up trying to connect.
This is what helped me to resolve this issue:
find /opt/pac/ -name "Vte.so*" -exec rm {} \;
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Gnome2::Vte'
Is that all one command? Cannot get it to execute.

Was able to run first part of command to delete Vte.so files
find /opt/pac/ -name "Vte.so*" -exec rm {} \;
But second command perl -MCPAN -e 'install Gnome2::Vte' returns this:
Configuring X/XA/XAOC/Gnome2-Vte-0.11.tar.gz with Makefile.PL
Package vte was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `vte.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'vte' found
at Makefile.PL line 75.
*** can not find package vte >= 0.10
*** check that it is properly installed and available in PKG_CONFIG_PATH
at Makefile.PL line 75.
No 'Makefile' created XAOC/Gnome2-Vte-0.11.tar.gz
/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site -- NOT OK
Any Ideas?

Try this instead of perl CPAN:
apt-get install libvte-dev
Hi all,
when I've tried to execute that :
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Gnome2::Vte' - I've got the same error
BUT :
perl5.24.1 -MCPAN -e 'install Gnome2::Vte' - resolved the problem like "William K"
In my case the version of perl is 5.24.1 (if you are on other version change only the number)
After that PAC Manager is working as expected ;)
Good Luck
Regards

Does not work for me ("apt-get ..." and "perl...")
Solved mixing the steps mentioned in this thread and the ones in this one: https://sourceforge.net/p/pacmanager/bugs/264/
The short version:
1) tried:
a) sudo apt-get install libvte-dev
--> error still present
2) tried
a) sudo cpan
b) install Gnome2::Vte
--> error still present
3)tried:
a) sudo cp /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1/auto/Gnome2/Vte/Vte.so /opt/pac/lib/ex/vte64/auto/Gnome2/Vte/Vte.so
--> error gone. PAC works like a charm again.
Hope this helps.
I can confirm the problems with PAC and Debian 9 Stretch, I cannot connect via SSH, the screen freezes. This issue seems to be part of a bigger problem, there are reports on problems on Ubuntu 17 as well.I can imagine this happening on new Debian and Debian based distributions. This would mean that implementing PAC would be a pain from now on, no guarantees that it will work though. Imho implementing workarounds with chances of breakng it on the next update is not really an option. For me this is a core application. If I want to keep using it I need it to work out-of -the-box. So my question is whether resolving this problem is given priority. If donations to the cause help speeding things up I would be happy to do so.
Hi people! how are you? For today, did not find a simple solution to the problem of debian 9? How can I help you?
really want to pac worked out of the box! I am full of enthusiasm to help solve this problem. I can even order a pizza in case of success =)
the developer abandoned the project?
