Hi! While ncurses 6.0+20151017-1 fixed the earlier reproducibility bug #801864, it also introduced a reproducibility regression; now all the lib*_g.a files in the lib*-dbg packages are affected by the umask, uid/gid and build time of the build environment. The reason for this regression is upstream patch 20151010, specifically the update of CF_AR_FLAGS in aclocal.m4 (which is propagated to configure) that causes the static libraries to be generated with "ar -curvU". I don't really know where this should be fixed (patching aclocal.m4 doesn't seem right since it's a generated file) so I can't suggest a patch.
