Bug#400401: xterm upgrade: error in control file: `Format' value not specified at /usr/sbin/install-docs line 699, </usr/share/doc-bae/xterm-faq> line 22.
Package: xterm
Version: 222-2
When I upgraded xterm using aptitude, I recieved these error messages:

(FWIW, this came from:
# dd if=/dev/vcs2 of=/tmp/vcs2 conv=unblock ibs=80 cbs=80)
Xterm seems to be itself working properly.
