I gather that this is to allow both curses (from libc) and ncurses to be installed alongside one another. It seems that this will break some (perhaps all) source packages (and debian-user-written sources as well) which use ncurses in 0.93r{5|6} once ncurses replaces curses after the move to elf. If there's a good workaround which will prevent this breakage, it needs to be made very visible to both debian package and debian-user developers. If the breakage is unavoidable, this needs to be made similarly visible. Or am I missing something which should be obvious to me? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: Bill Mitchell Subject: Bug#1341: Acknowledgement (was: ncurses man pages confusing regarding #include files) In-Reply-To: References: Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
