Oh, wait, this can't be good news: I: Retrieving http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/newt/libnewt0_0.50.17-7.3_i386.deb I wonder if it's using that libnewt.so rather than the one from my host system. Anyone want to try removing libnewt0 from EXTRACT_LIST_all and seeing if that helps at all? p.
