I solved my problem, but I still don't know the cause. Re-installing the above 3 packages restored my terminal capabilities. This is strange because it had shown that they were all successfully installed before. I also installed libc4, libc5-dev and ncurses-developer before re-installing the packages which may have had some effect (but probably not). > Strangely, I had an /etc/termcap file which belonged to no > installed package (by running dpkg -S /etc/termcap) on the system. Still don't know where this termcap file comes from. It's also on my Debian system at home and also belongs to no installed package. Gerry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
