Isaac,
ncurses-term and ncurses-base are installed.
the output of
env |grep -e TERM -e LC -e LANG -e LOCALE
is TERM=xterm
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
COLORTERM=xfce4-terminal
my laptop is now only running xfce4, and slim is gone because I prefer
to login into a terminal and then startx when I want to / need to.

I run devuan unstable 'ceres' on my Toshiba laptop and my iMac.
It all works with just a bit of weirdness.
I use apt-get update apt-get upgrade and then use aptitude to fix those
upgrades that get held back for various reasons.
Whenever I highlight one of the held back packages and press 'e' to examine
the various possibilities the names of the packages to be removed or
installed are mangled with block characters and/or assorted characters from
other non-Latin1 character sets. Upside down question marks etc.
Any ideas what is going on?
I am using the slim login manager and then depending on my mood fluxbox,
xfce, or lumina - the new desktop from pc-bsd.
What's your terminal?
Are ncurses-term and ncurses-base installed?
What does this command output:
env |grep -e TERM -e LC -e LANG -e LOCALE
I ask these because I'm *guessing* that it's one of the following:
-you don't have TERM pointing to an installed & correct termcap/terminfo
database
-your localization is screwy
-you have the wrong fonts (not likely unless it's a plain xlib terminal)
HTH,
