I tried to install TCL on my machine (hamm) but had to install first libreadline and libncurses. I made a fault and tried to install first libreadline (with dpkg) the package complained that libncurses are required first.
After this installation attempt I wasn't able to login anymore (with telnet). The login processes finishes before the prompt is displayed with the following error message: You have mail. -bash: error in loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Since I can't login I cannot install libncurses or remove libreadline :[ There seems to be a bug in the libreadline debian package. If some other package is required first the package shouldn't make any changes to the system. I didn't tried to login on the console yet since the machine is remote but I suspect the login process will also kick me out. Could someone give me a hint how to fix this this problem? I only have a boot disk (prepared by copying the kernel) and the debian rescue disk. I suspect I need a real boot disk with an own root file system on it. -Werner
