This is tracked in #621282 and fixed in the Git development branch, which we started to import into master: <http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-bacula/bacula.git;a=commitdiff;h=60f2e8cd14785ab5dc73da7bf2423f05b6c8e54c> >> Fix applied in the Git repository: >> >> >> <http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-bacula/bacula.git;a=commitdiff;h=c71e91fb4d6f7434786f1d36eeeb0b0506a2216c> > > Actually, the 5.0.3+dfsg-0.1 NMU[2] already added libncurses5-dev to > Build-Depends, consider incorporating it into your git repository.
