I don't use pico and pine.  My ncftp is home-built and linked against
libc6, but that shouldn't make a difference.  I don't know enough about
screen to diagnose the problem.

But dselect _should_ _work_.  I have exactly the same packages as you,
and it works for me without any problems at all.  I'm running the
standard 3.3-3 xterm, with TERM set to xterm, and it works.  Why won't
it work for you?

I am very confused right now.  Straw poll--how many other developers
with 1.9.9g-3 installed are having these problems?  If it's only Joey,
perhaps something unrelated has gone wrong.
