With this version of base-files reappears a problem that was present with
a previous version.

Suppose:


   rm -i foo.txt <return>
   
   rm: remove regular file `foo.txt'? y <backspace> n <return>


With <backspace> the cursor should remove 'y' at which place should
appears 'n'.

But with base-files 3.7-1 this does not happen,  'y' is visible under
the cursor, 'n' overwrite 'y' and the file foo.txt is removed in any case!

This happens also with 'cp -i', 'mv -i'...

All these things happen from xterm (statxwin.bat) and NOT from std bash
shell (Cygwin.bat). 

Reinstalling base-files-3.6-1 works fine in all cases.


Cheers,

   Angelo.
