gpm has a spurious linkage to ncurses, which has been removed in recent packages. If mc's using slang (which iirc it does for all versions of the Debian packages), it cannot execute anything in ncurses via that linkage. If it's using the bundled slang, it won't show up via ldd, but 'strings' or 'nm' on the executable will show it - there won't be any 'initscr' or 'newterm' symbols. -- Thomas E.
