This is a strange oddity with the bash configure script. If you run it
"--with-curses" and it detects tgetent in -ltermcap:
,----
| checking for tgetent... no
| checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... yes
| checking which library has the termcap functions... using libtermcap
`----
it will nevertheless *not* add -ltermcap to the linker line, but just
-lcurses which fails in the static build. But without the
libtermcap.a -> libtinfo.a symlink (#644426), tgetent is only in
-ltinfo in the static build:
,----
| checking for tgetent... no
| checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
| checking for tgetent in -ltinfo... yes
| checking which library has the termcap functions... using libtinfo
`----
And then -lcurses is not used, but -ltinfo which succeeds.
Anyway, I'll probably not dig into this further since it's already fixed
in experimental, modulo #641350. Would be nice to see a bash that does
not link against ncurses in unstable soon, since ncurses-bin is going to
use only libtinfo5 as well (#644933), and then libncurses5 is actually
no longer required. :-)
Cheers,
Sven
