Redhat and SuSE are using the feature (of ncurses) which allows the
terminfo-level part to be built as a separate library. For low-level
users such as readline, that helps since they can be linked against
a library which is independent of ncurses/ncursesw differences.
readline references
tgetflag tgoto tgetstr tgetnum tgetent BC PC UP
which are not defined in libtic, only in libncurses{,w}.
libtic is a different thing than the low-level terminfo library.
Debian does not provide the latter. ncurses can be configured to split
its "ncurses" library into 3 parts. The low-level terminfo library would
contain the interfaces for terminfo and termcap (which are the ones used
by readline). It also contains some utility functions used only by
ncurses/ncursesw - all using ncurses private naming "_nc_" prefix...
Another option would be not to link libreadline with any curses library, and
require executables to link with the appropriate curses library.
