It is a know issue with latest lib ncurses versions, if nobody commits to fix it, then this issue will be closed soon.

`kamcmd` is simply a binrpc client, that means `kamcmd cmd` can be replaced by `kamcli rpc cmd`, for example `kamcmd lcr.reload` can be replaced by `kamcli rpc lcr.reload`. For `kamcli` you need the `jsonrpcs` module.

@linuxmaniac It used to work on Debian 10, not working anymore on Debian 11.

Example:

``` henning@teams-1~$ cat /etc/debian_version 11.5 henning@teams-1~$ sudo kamcmd kamcmd 1.5 Copyright 2006 iptelorg GmbH This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Also do not work on ubuntu. The strange thing is that it compiles and links with readline, but aparently its not working.
