Hi,
(have sent this to mailing list since somebody there may
know whats going on, and it may be useful if anyone else is
running into similar problems with Debian)

This is what /var/lib/dpkg/status reports
(dpkg maintains a database about the state of the debian system):
Package: ncurses-base
Essential: yes
Status: install ok installed
Priority: required
Section: base
Maintainer: Michael Alan Dorman <address@hidden>
Source: ncurses 1.9.9e-1
Version: 1.9.9e-1
Replaces: ncurses-term
Provides: ncurses-runtime
Conflicts: ncurses, ncurses-runtime
Description: Video terminal manipulation: Minimum set of terminals
This package contains what should be a reasonable subset of terminal
definitions, including: ansi, dumb, linux, sun, vt100, vt102, vt220,
vt52, xterm and xterm-color.
Package: ncurses3.0
Essential: yes
Status: install ok installed
Priority: required
Section: base
Maintainer: Michael Alan Dorman <address@hidden>
Source: ncurses 1.9.9e-1
Version: 1.9.9e-1
Depends: libc5
Conflicts: ncurses
Description: Video terminal manipulation: shared libraries
This package contains the shared libraries necessary to run programs
compiled with the ncurses libraries.
Package: ncurses-bin
Essential: yes
Status: install ok installed
Priority: required
Section: base
Maintainer: Michael Alan Dorman <address@hidden>
Source: ncurses 1.9.9e-1
Version: 1.9.9e-1
Replaces: tput
Depends: ncurses3.0, libc5
Pre-Depends: ncurses3.0, libc5
Conflicts: ncurses, tput
Description: Video terminal manipulation: associated programs and man pages
This package contains the programs used for manipulating the terminfo
database and individual terminfo entries, as well as some programs for
resetting terminals and such.
It appears I have "ncurses-base" and "ncurses3.0" and "ncurses-bin" installed,
which conflict with "ncurses". Maybe this is more a problem for Debian
people ...
For more details of the exact files within the above packages one can do
grep ncurses
ftp://ftp.mcc.ac.uk:/pub/linux/distributions/Debian/buzz/Contents.gz
Files with "ncurses" in their filenames are located at:
/lib/libncurses.so.3.0
/lib/libcurses.so.0.1.2
/lib/libcurses.so.0

jay
