Debian ncurses policy ?

What's the current Debian policy w.r.t. curses? I have 6 packages (most with outstanding bugs) that I can't upload anymore because I don't have any machine around with libc5, and we don't have any libc6 compiled curses. So what should we do? Cordialement, -- - ** Linux ** +

100baseT PCMCIA Cards?

I just realized that while Sam might understand that explanation, few others on Debian-User would. So here's why when you ask about bootable CDs I start talking about floppies.

Problem with tcpdump in 1.2.17

Before the coffin is nailed shut on rex, maybe the version of tcpdump that was placed in 1.2.17 should be replaced or backed out, as it depends on libpcap0, which is in bo, but not rex. I say this because I think Dale Scheetz (among other people) was going to burn a CD of the final version of rex
