* libncurses5 seems indeed to be superflous on Linux, filed an
upstream report and patched configure. In configure.ac it's:
dnl Vtysh uses libreadline, which looks for termcap functions at
dnl configure time. We follow readline's search order.
dnl The required procedures are in libtermcap on NetBSD, in
dnl [TODO] on Linux, and in [TODO] on Solaris.
AC_CHECK_LIB(termcap, tputs, LIBREADLINE="$LIBREADLINE -ltermcap",
[AC_CHECK_LIB(tinfo, tputs, LIBREADLINE="$LIBREADLINE -ltinfo",
[AC_CHECK_LIB(curses, tputs, LIBREADLINE="$LIBREADLINE -lcurses",
[AC_CHECK_LIB(ncurses, tputs,
LIBREADLINE="$LIBREADLINE -lncurses")]
)]
)]
)
But configure.ac does not rebuild, just gives endless-loop warnings.
* libcap1 seems to be needed though. There are some references in the
datastructures to it and I can remember having seen some bug reports
about capabilities. Maybe the relevant set/get functions which are
present in the source code are just temporarily disabled.
I leave this dependency.
