use dpkg -i --force-overwrite. The conflicts with the curses package are irrelevant. Or comment out the XXX-doc parts in debian/rules. > After I get the Hurd upgraded, I intend to finish loadkeys and > write a translator for displaying text with colors. 1. Probably don't spend your time on loadkeys, as we will use the linux console code soon, and then we will want to use whatever linux uses (console-tools). 2. Definitely don't spend your time on colored text. Anyway, this change has to be done in GNU Mach, and now that we are already talking about it, I have a patch ready for attributes and colors, and Brent did NMU ncurses with a appropriate termcap entry. (and when we switch to linux console, we will have coloured text, too, of course). However, working on a fancy terminal translator is encouraged, to make a kernel driven console driver unnecesasarz at some later time (contact Thomas about that) thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
