No installation candidate for Ncurses?? = No more make menuconfig?!?!

[quakeroatz]

I just installed Debian (Sid) successfully.

Now I'd like to bake myself a fresh kernel.. which would require ncurses for 'make menuconfig'

But I’ve hit one HUGE hitch....

apt-get install ncurses
E: Package ncurses has no installation candidate

WTF!!! I did this install last week and had no problems with ncurses. My buddy says he worked around this by installing ncurses using dselect. But doesn’t apt-get use the same database as dselect?

:confused:

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Try

apt-get install libncurses5-dev

I am not in Linux right now but I think that's what it's called... check it out.
