It didn't help me. Today I got a new xterm version, man-db: no changes: xterm still prevents logging out as described earlier, 'man xterm' still starts "man uxterm" COLUMNS=152 dpkg -l | egrep "(xterm|man-db)" ii man-db 2.4.2-12 The on-line manual pager ii xterm 4.3.0-5 X terminal emulator ls -lt -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | grep list | egrep "(xterm|man-db)" -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 846 Mar 7 14:17 xterm.list -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4155 Mar 7 14:14 man-db.list Best Regards Wolfgang -- Profile, Links: http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer
