I think that no is part of the gettext package, which enables
internationalization support. Installing that package should
fix the problem.

name might have a space at the end.

It doesn't sound like a serial device from your description of the plug,
it sounds more like a PS/2 mouse. Try using /dev/psaux as your mouse
device.
