In the discussion surrounding this bug report, you suggest that maybe ncurses3.0-dev should check in its postinst to make sure that /usr/include/ncurses was properly handled (made a symlink to .). Is there a reason to not check in the preinst for an actual /usr/include/ncurses directory and remove it if it exists? Mike. -- "Don't let me make you unhappy by failing to be contrary enough...."
