Package: bash Version: 4.3-13 Severity: normal Tags: patch Bash is supposed to link with tinfo rather than ncurses:
,---- | bash (4.2-1) unstable; urgency=low | | [...] | * Just link with libtinfo instead of libncurses if available. `---- However, for some reason this does no longer work. Looking at the build logs, starting with version 4.3-6 bash is linked with ncurses again. While I haven't been able to figure out the exact reason for that, just removing "--with-curses" from conf_args is sufficient to fix it, and you probably want to do that anyway.
