Package: libncurses-dev
Version: 6.5+20251115-2
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Control: affects -1 src:util-linux

Hi,
`ncursesw6-config --libs` newly prints this:
-lncursesw -ltinfow
instead of:
-lncursesw -ltinfo
This makes util-linux FTBFS, like this:
libtool: link: gcc -fsigned-char -fno-common -Wall -Wextra
-Waddress-of-packed-member -Wdiscarded-qualifiers
-Wimplicit-function-declaration -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-parameter-type
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wno-missing-field-initializers
-Wold-style-definition -Wpointer-arith -Wredundant-decls -Wsign-compa re
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wtype-limits -Wuninitialized -Wunused-but-set-parameter
-Wunused-but-set-variable -Wunused-parameter -Wunused-result -Wunused-variable
-Wvla -Walloca -Werror=sequence-point -I./libsmartcols/src -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 -g -O2 -Werror=implicit-function-declaration

.libs/irqtop sys-utils/irqtop-irqtop.o sys-utils/irqtop-irq-common.o
lib/irqtop-monotonic.o ./.libs/libcommon.a ./.libs/libsmartcols.so -lncursesw
-ltinfow
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltinfow: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Indeed I cannot find a libtinfow.so anywhere. Previous util-linux
build logs show `-lncursesw -ltinfo`, which worked.
Best,
Chris
