I suspect a broken ncurses setup is the root of my problems. The ncurses-base and ncurses-bin packages install fine, but when trying to reinstall ncurses itself I got the following:
# dpkg --install ncurses3.4_1.9.9g-8.deb (Reading database ... 28942 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace ncurses3.4 1.9.9g-8 (using ncurses3.4_1.9.9g-8.deb) ... Unpacking replacement ncurses3.4 ... Setting up ncurses3.4 (1.9.9g-8) ... ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libncurses.so.3.4 (No such file or directory), skipping I suspect that in trying to fix this I managed to annihilate my ncurses.3.4.so file, as bedore something like this showed up (I think in /lib), but now find gives: $ find / -name "ncurses*" -print /usr/doc/copyright/ncurses-term /usr/doc/ncurses3.4 /usr/doc/ncurses-base /usr/doc/ncurses-bin /usr/doc/ncurses3.0 find: /usr/share/emacs/20.2/site-lisp: Permission denied find: /etc/ppp: Permission denied find: /var/spool/cron/atjobs: Permission denied find: /var/spool/cron/atspool: Permission denied /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses-base.preinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses-base.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses3.0.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses3.0.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses-bin.preinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses-bin.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses-term.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses3.4.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses3.4.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses3.4.shlibs /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses-base.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses-base.conffiles /var/lib/dpkg/info/ncurses3.0.shlibs Anyone know what I should do to rectify this situation?
