Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.5-2sarge1
Severity: high


Lynx has some serious problem.  When it is started from the
command-line, is simply displays a blank screen with the text at the
bottom:

desc=microsoft  D)ownload, or C)ancel


this almost looks like some kind of malicious trojan or something!

I also invoked lynx like this:

lynx http://ftp.kernel.org

in order to download a kernel.  When I actually selected the kernel to
download, I again was faced with a similar "microsoft  D)ownload, or
C)ancel" prompt.  Something is obviously messed up.

Marking as fixed in the corresponding Debian version.
