Today I tried to install gnupg using deselect, but it would not run giving me similar error messages to the one stated below. I then decided to forget it and uninstall gnupg using dselect. I thought everything was just find. Then tonight, when I tried to use the "man ircii", I get the same type of error message. I used deselect to uninstall ircii and then re-install it, but the same error message appears. I uninstalled it again using dselect, and then downloaded the ircii .deb package from ftp.debian.org and tried to install it again using dpkg -i ircii_4.4.3.deb, but the same error appears. When I try to remove ircii, I get another error. The error output is attached below. I have a debian slink system.
