Package: ncurses-base
Version: 5.4-9

Do not care about the german text below.  While trying to install  
ncurses-base the pre-installation script fails. There is something wrong with 
sed.

What is your architecture?  What's linked to /bin/sh?  Also, what's the
output of find /etc/terminfo -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type f?

Have you got any versions of sed installed besides the standard one in
/bin?

i386 ( intel architecture )

What's linked to /bin/sh?
/bin/bash

Yepp. There was an old sed version left, which was installed 
under /usr/bin/sed ( Version 3.02 ). /usr/bin/sed did not belong to any 
package. I did not install this version actively.  I removed the old sed 
version and the preinstallation script worked. This problem seems to be 
related to sed and not to ncurses-base.
You can resolve this bug. = Bugreport for sed ( unclean update )?

thanx for help.
Frank
