I had the same experience as Mr. Mills. I manually deleted a broken ncurses link /usr/lib/libncurses.so.3.4 I think it was, and the ld-related warning which used to come up on 'dpkg --install ncurses3.4_1.9.9g-8.deb' dissapeared. dselect now works again. This problem began with the libc6 upgrade, during which I may have made mistakes. Should dpkg report an error in this case instread of a warning, or are there too many simmilar situations in which the warning is irrelevant?
