Can anyone tell me where I can get ncurses3.4? It still appears to be in Incoming on master.debian.org, last I checked. Developers, like me, are downloading it from there, because we need it if we want our apps to be libc6.

On a similar note, the package libreadlineg2 is wanted by both bc and dc, and maybe others. I have installed the package (from i-connect) but the programs still seg-fault.

Re: ncurses3.4
I have a system with the 'hamm' hierarchy packages installed. Several of
the packages, including important ones like 'gdb' depend on 'ncurses3.4'
but I cannot find this anywhere. I wonder why 'ncurses3.4' is not
included in 'hamm'. Any pointers or workarounds anyone?
ncurses3.4 is in incoming, not in unstable yet (Guy's on vacation, that's
why).
I've put the .deb files in
ftp://rulcmc.leidenuniv.nl/debian/incoming
(for the time being, it's a moderately slow link).
Warning: this is for the debian-devel type people only, who are following
unstable. If you just have stable (or bo), don't bother going there!
