Just did an aptitude full-upgrade on Sid and it upgraded all sorts of
stuff, also ncurses-base.

That is affected by bug #665959 which messes up all the dpkg dialogs
and also mc.

Yes, sorry about that.

But it gives a fix: copy /lib/terminfo/l/linux from the previous version.

But apt-listbugs did not list that bug during the upgrade.

I think apt-listbugs only displays bugs of severity >= serious by
default, and #665959 has currently only normal severity.


But the bug gave the fix, although I wonder how the submitter figured that one out. Works nicely though.
