I think there is a conflict on libc. I've tried to install libc5 on my system, and ldd say that ferret doesn't try to use it. if you dont need libc5, try to remove it from your system. I think ferret dont need libc5. ferret guru should confirm.But as I said before termcap-compat that provides the libtermcap does need it. So it can't remove it. How did ou manage to get off the problem with libtermcap on debian without libc5 ? Thanks,
