Hello people,
yes, I've done my Google homework. Yes, everybody seems to solve this
problem using "set backspace=eol,start,indent" and "set fixdel".
However, it doesn't work in xterms on this machine: Whenever I hit
backspace, the character to the right of the current cursor position
gets deleted.

Of course I'm not saying goodbye to Debian, at least not voluntarily and

Hello,
I can't get my head around the (as of etch) newfangled aptitude
dependency handling procedure. As an example, I'm trying to install
texlive. As soon as I hit '+', I see this cryptic message in the bottom
line:
