I assume that the functions required in libtermcap are provided by libtinfo. It's how I believe it is but I'm not 100% sure on what sits where. If that is the case, it makes sense to link it to libtinfo.

OTOH, there may be cases where packages > inadvertently use -ltermcap where they really need (n)curses Assuming the above is correct, they're linking to the wrong thing so it should break. I also noticed there are no header files for libtinfo-dev which doesn't appear correct to me. Surely there are some functions in libtinfo that you could use and they need headers to reference them? The ncurses headers appear in libncurses5-dev package, but there might be cases where that isn't installed. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ http://www.enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org/ csmall at : debian.org old fingerprint: 1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 NEW fingerprint: 5D2F B320 B825 D939 04D2 0519 3938 F96B DF50 FEA5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
