The understanding is correct, Torsten. > And I see no problem for the python package to require OpenPKG-ncurses > for readline functionality. For the particular "python" package the requirement might be ok.

Whats wrong on this view? Nothing is wrong here. Fact is just that OpenPKG requires "ncurses-dev" anyway under Linux, so I thought it should not hurt you for "python", too. I see that the "python" package has a "with_curses" option, too. Would using this already solve your problem or do we first have to patch Python to correctly find OpenPKG's "ncurses" and solve your problem? Ralf S.
