ncurses prob with slink

[Sean M Hollingsworth <skaven@spiritone.com>]

I recently reinstalled Debian 2.0 (long story) and wanted to put slink
back on as well.  Now, in November, I had cleaned my system out and did
a full reinstall of Debian 2.0, re-dselected slink ... and watched as
miles and miles of ncurses errors flooded my screen.  I eventually
realized that I was getting packages from the unstable and not the
frozen directory; I didn't notice that slink had moved  Once I fized
that, eveything installed fine.  

So, this time I updated everything from the frozen directory ... and
again the ncurses errors.  I thought that perhaps some things had been
moved to the stable directory, so after reinstalling (nothing worked on
my system after the update) I dselected from the stable directory.  Sure
enough, there were some updates - including ones for all the ncurses
libraries.  "Ah hah", I thought.  I updated those - things went fine -
and then updated from frozen.  And again got clobbered by ncurses
errors.  And again nothing worked - I had to do a hard reboot to shut
down linux.

So .... 1) Is the frozen directory currently hosed or did I overlook
something again? And 2) Any idea when slink will be released as a stable
release?
