Package: libedit Version: 2.11-20080614-3 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: libncurses5-dependency
Currently libedit2 links against libncurses5 which is unnecessary as of ncurses 5.9-2 since we have split off a libtinfo library that is shared by libncurses5 and libncursesw5, and libedit only uses symbols from libtinfo. The attached patch removes the unnecessary dependency by linking against libtinfo rather than libcurses, and also adjusting the .pc file and the libedit-dev package's dependencies. Since libedit's header files do not #include ncurses headers, that should be safe. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-rc9-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
