missing libcurses.so.1

[Jeff Katcher]

Hi all

I am trying to experiment with the grass4.2 GIS software, and when I
start it up I get the message 
/usr/local/grass42/etc/gis_set: can't load library 'libcurses.so.1'

I (ass}u{me} ;>) that this means I need the "curses" library (as opposed
to the "ncurses" library)  is there a Debian package that contains
this?  or do I already have it somewhere and just can't find it.


Thanks in advance
