Package: libtinfo5
Version: 5.9-10_i386
In attempting to run debootstrap to install Debian (i386 wheezy) from
another distribution's LiveCD, the following symptoms are observed.
When trying to chroot and run bash, it complains:
$ sudo LANG=C.UTF-8 chroot /mnt/mydeb /bin/bash
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
In debootstrap.log, potentially related entries show up:
$ cat /mnt/mydeb/debootstrap/debootstrap.log
tar: ./usr/share/doc/libncurses5: Cannot create symlink to
`libtinfo5': File exists
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
tar: ./usr/share/doc/libncurses5: Cannot create symlink to
`libtinfo5': File exists
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Well, in that case there is probably nothing we can do about it. I'm
closing the bug hereby since it could not be reproduced and I don't
think anything needs to be done in ncurses.
