Ah, thanks for that piece of information. I installed 
ncurses-base_5.4-4_all.deb (which I had actually downloaded on some 
previous occasion) and was then able to run zile successfully. Thanks! :-)



zile should add it to the Depends field.

I'll mention it to the packager.

One item I'm curious about though: is an install of 'libncurses' ever 
useful *without* a corresponding install of `ncurses-base`? I ask this 
because I'd installed 'libncurses' previously to satisfy some other 
package's requirements, but I'm not sure if I had ever exercised it.


Anyway, thanks again for the help.

P.S. I didn't mention vi *once*! ;-D

there was iteresting page in wiki last week that got deleted. I'm not

After I managed to partially re-construct the page (as
http://maemo.org/maemowiki/Glossary--since changed to point to CodeNames
again) with cached "context" snippets from Google I discovered a while
later some anonymous benefactor had retrieved the original content. So,
thanks to whoever that was. :-)


Is it normal that there is no revision history for deleted pages in
wiki? What if it was deleted by mistake or by spammer?

It would appear the pages are stored somewhere but I still have no idea
where. :-)


Was this page deleted by administrator because of the content (i.e
some sort of censorship)? I don't remember there was any information on
that page which was not already freely available elsewhere. Also I found 
origin of Retu and Tahvo words interesting so I miss such page a bit :-)

The Flintstones are now back home safely again :-) and others have added
some more info as well, thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the Zile package, Danny.

Untested. Built for IT2006.

Unfortunately on 2006.1 I get the following error when I try to run it
(either via ssh or with "X Terminal" on the device itself):

  Error opening terminal: xterm-color.

I Googled around for possible solutions but didn't see anything
immediately obvious that worked for me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Phil.

I was able to get "Osso Xterm" from the repository listed there

remember any more if it was a dependency problem or the "Unable to
install.  Incompatible package".

Usually it seems to say "Incompatible package" if the package
"Section" is something else than "user".  Those packages you
can install from the command line with "dpkg -i".

But bear in mind that if one is trying to install something lots of
people have already installed (xterm in this case) it's probably more
likely to actually be the wrong package--and who knows how
"kludgy-fixes" would break things. :-)
