Package: libtinfo5
Version: 6.0+20150810
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Upgrading a testing (stretch) system.

Since a recent upgrade, bash complains about this library lacking version
information.

the following message is printed a *lot* during some bash scripts execution :

bash: /usr/local/sage/local/lib/libtinfo.so.5: no version information available
(required by bash)

This seems to be printed on standard output : I finf=d it when trying to update
sage, whose test system uses a lot of bash scripts. The error message is
inserted in the outputs of the system ; these outputs then differ from the
expected output ==> (false) detection of an error.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

apt-get install --reinstalling lib32tinfo5 libtinfo5:amd64 libtinfo5:i386

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Same as before...

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

A *silent* bash...
