Using Debian Etch stable version without X. Everything works fine
since installed a few days ago except that  in aptitude or midnight
commander or even dpkg-reconfigure screens, I get lots of question
marks displayed with reverse video. What do I need so ncurses displays
these correctly?

I guess this has to do somethign with either whiptail or readline?

Regards,
Deboo
