[arch-general] links package hasn't been updated

[Jude DaShiell]

I need one more piece of information please.  What did you do with the 
keyboard when you got on links are numbered to get the state to change 
from off the default to on?  I tried spacebar and x and * and in last 
version of links none of them would work.
