Hate to bump an old bug... but it seems silly to create another one for
essentially the same issue.
I am currently packaging a proprietary application as an Ubuntu package
(the MacroView SCADA system, as it so happens). Host platform is Ubuntu
10.04 LTS i386.
In previous releases, the upstream
As Thomas notes, this should be fixed in the build scripts of whatever
software is looking for a separate libtinfo, rather than by changing
ncurses. Closing the report, thanks!

Ncurses package does not contain libtinfo
Would it be an idea to include the libtinfo.so.5 symlink in libncurses5?
Is there any reason it would cause any problems?

ncurses' configure script generates that link - but only if it's
configured to generate the separate library. As I understand it,
Thanks for the tip, the symlinks let me install ghc 6.12

actually libncurses.so.5 is in /lib, not /usr/lib, so you need this:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5
sudo ln -s /lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so

The libtinfo.so functionality is built into the libncurses.so shared
library. For software that expects the libtinfo.so object, do the
following:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so

The entrypoints for libinfo are part of ncurses (whether the ncurses library is
installed as the
two files is a decision made by the packager, and does not affect the ability
of applications
to use those entrypoints). Any build script which looks explicitly for libtinfo
