Minor Problem Potpourri



A few glitches here and there:

1) the netscape packages require a missing netscape-base-4;
   netscape-base-4 doesn't exist (specifically, netscape-base-46
   requires it).  Is the dependency incorrect, or is a necessary
   package simply missing?

2) I'm getting a strange problem with console terminal emulation and
   the arrow keys.  Sometimes the arrow keys emit ^[[A thru ^[[D.
   These codes are correctly recognized by dselect, make menuconfig,
   etc.  (ncurses based apps, presumably.)

   But in recent muckings about with the X server and keyboard stuff,
   for some reason the arrow keys generate ^[OA thro ^[OD (that's
   big-Oh, not zero).  Bash works fine with these, as does the vanilla 
   d0 (erm, vt100) termcap entry when logging in remotely to systems
   not grokking the 'linux' terminal type.

Any ideas on solutions for the above?
