Package: libncurses5 Version: 5.9-2 Severity: wishlist We should probably move the libtic library (libtic.so.5) to the libtinfo5 package, so that ncurses-bin only depends on libtinfo5 and not on libncurses5. That would move libncurses5 out of the essential package closure set, once bash is fixed to not depend on libncurses5.
Related to that, libncursesw5 could be configured with "--with-ticlib=libtic" to share the same ticlib library. This breaks existing users of libticw.so.5, so the archive needs to be checked if there are any; I presume there are none, though. -- 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 Versions of packages libncurses5 depends on: ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libtinfo5 5.9-2 ii multiarch-support 2.13-21 Versions of packages libncurses5 recommends: ii libgpm2 1.20.4-4 libncurses5 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
