Source: ncurses Version: 6.0+20161126-1 The ncurses multilib packages have been a constant source of bugs and are considered unsupportable by the dpkg maintainer[1]. After the stretch release I intend to retire them. Reverse dependencies are grub-legacy (on amd64 only) and readline, for which I will file separate bugs.
This is an incomplete list of multilib and ncurses related bugs which I have encountered over the years: https://bugs.debian.org/563272 https://bugs.debian.org/623141 https://bugs.debian.org/638418 https://bugs.debian.org/737946 https://bugs.debian.org/774404 https://bugs.debian.org/802810 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2016-06/msg00010.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2016-08/msg00032.html 1. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=821025#10
