Yes, done apt-get update. Contents of sources.list:
deb http://debian.blueyonder.co.uk/ stable main
deb-src http://debian.blueyonder.co.uk/ stable main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
sarge & etch have 5.4-4 while sid has 5.4-8, which is making me a bit
suspicious of what is inside there. Had you manually installed any
ncurses5 deb's previously?
I've not installed any versions of ncurses manually. Only recently
installed debian in my laptop using the 2.4.27 kernel.
Sorry my mistake with the reply-to.
Yes tried to get install on its own and still got that unmet
dependencies issue.
#apt-get install libncurses5-dev
"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libncurses5-dev: Depends: libncurses5 (= 5.4-4) but 5.4-8 is to be
installed
E: Broken packages"
So I downloaded and installed ncurses from source
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-5.4.tar.gz
and I was finally able to run 'make menuconfig' without any problems.
thanks,
Ab
