[gentoo-user] ncurses apps garbled in text console

[Robert Persson]

For some reason (probably a careless etc-update) ncurses based apps (e.g. mc 
and kernel make menuconfig) have started looking really ugly when displayed 
in a text console, but look fine in xterm and konsole.  Rectangular frames 
are absent, columns don't line up, the wrong character disappears when I hit 
backspace, and so on, to the point of making the applications unusable.

Any ideas?

Many thanks
Robert
