Lintian reported a similar problem with my libcurses-perl package; I
suspect it is harmless and the author of it needs to be made aware of
the issue.
On a side note, do you (or anybody?) maintain the DBI driver for
Postgres (DBD::Pg)? If not, you might want to consider maintaining
it; if you don't want to, I probably will. If you are already
maintaining it, it probably needs to be re-released for 6.3.

I will probably get some new installations by Tuesday. I'll be sure
to report bugs if I run into any problems.
Thanks for your work on this!
BTW, are you a member of the Postgres team? I seem to remember that
you maybe are. If so, I have been experiencing the occasional core
dump from postmaster on BSDi and some odd behavior. I can provide you
with some details on this if you'd like. If I have you confused with
somebody else, please ignore this paragraph :-)
Regadrs,
John
