The fix should be in dpkg. ncurses builds curses.h, reserving space for a feature which is not used after all (and is removed to prevent unintentional use). dpkg builds a list of all of the KEY_xxx definitions without noting that one is undefined later. The same problem would occur (given dpkg's script) if one of those KEY_xxx definitions were in an ifdef. dpkg should simply ignore that, since it does not use the feature. -- Thomas E.
