Synology ipkg nano - line numbers are wrong, and sometimes appear on the wrong side of the file

update

I submitted a bug report and the conclusion is that the nano version that's available through ipkg is 3 years outdated, and has been incorrectly modified or a dependency is broken.

Unfortunately the community-made package managers are either abandoned (ipkg) or incompatible (opkg). I suspect I'll run into similar problems if I keep trying to use the Synology for development so I'll try a different platform - but I'll leave this question up.

original

When I open any file in nano and line numbers are enabled, the line numbers are completely wrong, and appear on the wrong side!

This happens with any file. Here's one example:

The actual file seems correct:

Versions:

• Synology DSM 6.2.4-25556
• GNU nano, version 3.1

I've tried different combinations of shells and clients - the same problem occurs:

• GNU bash, version 4.3.48(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
• zsh 5.2 (x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu)
• ohmyzsh - latest master
• OS X Terminal
• Windows Terminal 1.9.1942.0, with profile Powershell 7.1.3

I've tried reinstalling sudo /opt/bin/ipkg install nano --force-reinstall

nano correctly reads the nanorc file

> more $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nano/nanorc set linenumbers 

Once I even got a crash:

> nano docker-compose.yml.save Sorry! Nano crashed! Code: 11. Please report a bug. 

The line number changes when I edit the content of a line: https://gfycat.com/unripeoblongafricanhornbill

1. 211 -
2. 225 -
3. 239 -

When line numbers are disabled, nano works correctly. Here I've commented out the setting, and re-opened nanorc:

Updated to DSM 7

I updated my Synology to DSM 7 and tried using nano again. Again, without set linenumbers, the output is garbled. Also, I get some nice error messages:

Badness: tried to display a line on row -1851878901 -- please report a bug

The row number changes a few times as the file is loaded, before I get this error:
