Package: ncurses-bin / libncurses5-dev
Version: 5.6+20080308-1
Severity: important
ncurses-bin ships the ncurses5-config binary.
Running ncurses5-bin --cflags reports "-I/usr/include/ncurses" But
this is wrong. The package does not provide /usr/include/ncurses.
Even if libncurses5-dev is installed, then it puts the header files in
/usr/include NOT /usr/include/ncurses Consequently any build
configurations which rely on ncurses5-config will break.
ncurses5-config should be shipped by libncurses5-dev and not
ncurses5-bin and it should give the correct information.

This has been fixed long ago, before 5.7 I think.

I had thought about moving ncurses5-config to libncurses5-dev, but that
would prevent the -dev package from becoming "Multi-Arch: same" since
the script differs slightly across architectures. So the next best
thing to do is to tighten the dependency of libncurses5-dev on
ncurses-bin, which was done in version 5.7+20100313-2. Closing the bug
with that version.
