Any ideas on proper fixing? For myself I revert this locally and
everything works perfectly.
(I think .so files and .a archives should be in usr/lib while .so
can go to /lib which is not the case with current ncurses.)
so mv in do_install should be sufficient, not --libdir=${base_libdir}.


Could you be more specific about how python ncurses support is broken? I
assume you're getting errors of unresolved symbols. If that's the
case, you
may need to rebuild the application so it links to ncurses from
base_libdir.
No, python fails to find the library.
And it is bad practice to put develeopment files in /lib anyway.
I think, putting .so.x.x intu lib was sufficient instead of setting
whole libdir to /lib.
Or development files might be moved to /usr/lib back (and .so symlink
re-created
to address this).

Thanks, I understand what you're saying now. I hope to look into this
tomorrow and develop a fix; I've been away at a conference all week so far.

Thanks again Sergey for troubleshooting this and suggesting a solution. I filed bug #2070 to track this and have created the following fix for it:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=sgarman/python-ncurses-fix&id=23c73da5f13b6c586353edb8143fa21058bf3a55

I'm going to queue up some build tests to run over the weekend and plan to submit this first thing on Monday should that go well.

Regards,

Scott
