Package: lynx-cur
Version: 2.8.7dev10-5

The lynx-cur package is intended to create a /etc/lynx-cur/local.cfg file 
with contents
  STARTFILE:http://www.debian.org/
(or whatever value is configured via debconf).  However, as of 
2.8.7dev10-5, this only works if /etc/lynx-cur/local.cfg already exists.

As a result, new installs of lynx-cur always get the default homepage of 
http://lynx.isc.org/, which incidentally happens to be down right now, so 
lynx exits with an error (“lynx: Can't access startfile 
http://lynx.isc.org/”).

The bug is that this line in lynx-cur.postinst (introduced for 
http://bugs.debian.org/492468 ):

  # do not try managing $CONFIGfile if it exists, but is not a regular file
  if test -f $CONFIGFILE && ! test -L $CONFIGFILE ; then

has the wrong test.  It should be

  if (test -f $CONFIGFILE || ! test -e $CONFIGFILE) && ! test -L $CONFIGFILE ; 
then
