I upgraded a box from slink to potato yesterday, and ran into a very strange problem. Since then, I am unable to run mutt. When I start it, it just blacks out the screen and returns to the prompt (which is at the bottom btw. so it is probably a slang or curses problem). No error, no core dump, nothing. Running as root doesn't change it, it behaves exactly the same. I *have* gotten it to run (that's how I am now writing this email in fact), but in a very unconvenient way to say the least. In order to gather as much info as I could to file a bug report, I mindlessly entered 'gdb mutt' (though of course it didn't have any symbols, and I don't have any debugging libraries installed anyway). To my great surprise, when I told it to 'run', it just did that - run mutt. No blackout, no exiting, working fine. I don't know what is going on, and don't know whose bug this may be. I've upgraded slink boxes to potato before, I ran into other trouble, but those were usually fixable - I wouldn't know what to do here. I checked /etc/Muttrc, I installed the 'fresh' Muttrc from the package, renamed my ~/.muttrc, all without success. I hope someone knows what is going on here, I'd hate to reinstall the box (it has been running fine since hamm release - upgrade to slink went flawlessly, with my computers by the way, and I really hate this happening). Regards, Filip
