Interestingly(?!), this happens with Ubuntu as well.

The console terminal settings don't seem to be correct these days.  If
you "echo $TERM" you'll see that it's of type "linux" whereas in an
xterm it's of type "xterm" and that does work properly with ncurses
which mc and say, aptitude use.

I tried "export TERM=xterm" and while the bordering is broken
(characters instead of graphical lines) the check boxes work better in
aptitude at least.  Give it a try.

well, I have no idea but I had meant to ask the wise ones on the list
(but you've beaten me to it)...
