Package: ncurses Version: 5.9-1 Severity: important ncurses should be configured with --with-termlib so that packages which do not rely on the symbols exported by ncurses/ncursesw, but only on symbols found in libtermlib. Not having a libtermlib would need proliferation of non-wide/wide library builds for every library depending on ncurses/ncursesw. The first library needing this is libreadline.
See http://bugs.debian.org/602720 for the initial report and the discussion with the upstream author. Building libtermlib seems to be the standard way to build ncurses for other distributions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
