I found a mail-list archive with instructions to finish this. It worked
OK with mc-common and mc but the gmc_4.5.42-4_i386.deb file will not
install I get the following messages:
(Reading database ... 78011 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking gmc (from gmc_4.5.42-4_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing gmc_4.5.42-4_i386.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/convert-metadata.db.1.gz',
which is also in package mc
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Any idea what to do now is greatly appreciated!! BTW; this recompile did
fix the mouse problem as I used the debian source files from potato and
recompiled them for slink.
