    (xterm : unknown) I think uclibc-opt or libstdc++ lib files modified something my system or perhaps two termcap conf file in system... I mc is working and I can edit conf files (use xterm emulation)
    to get nano and screen working again after switching to oleg-optware feedware run the command:
    Code:
    awk '/^Package:/{system("ipkg install -force-reinstall -force-defaults " $2)}' /opt/lib/ipkg/status

    Solution for the "/opt/var/run/utmp" problem

    The following worked for me:

    sudo touch /opt/var/run/utmp
    sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/var/run

    Then "screen" did not display the error message any more.
