I was always on armel boxes do the screen support for d-i, so I didn't find there's a problem on amd64 until yesterday. With the previous v4 patch, building packages for src:ncurses on ARCH amd64, then check the dependency of built udeb: $ dpkg-deb -I libtinfo5-udeb_6.0+20160319-2_amd64.udeb Depends: lib32tinfo5 (>= 6), libc6-udeb (>= 2.19) It seems "lib32tinfo5" only exists on amd64 and ppc64. Then I tried to add "lib32tinfo5-udeb" support in debian/control and debian/rules, but built "lib32tinfo5-udeb" depend on libc6-i386, which is not udeb. So I decide not to choose this solution. I find another way, may be considered tricky though. I find screen actually uses libtinfo.so, but not uses libtic.so, which includes in libtinfo5-udeb. After I applied the patch below to removed libtic.so from libtinfo5-udeb, the dependency becomes normal as ARCH armel: $ dpkg-deb -I libtinfo5-udeb_6.0+20160319-2_amd64.udeb Depends: libc6-udeb (>= 2.19) diff --git a/debian/libtinfo5-udeb.install b/debian/libtinfo5-udeb.install index c6aa24a..576962e 100644 --- a/debian/libtinfo5-udeb.install +++ b/debian/libtinfo5-udeb.install @@ -1,2 +1 @@ usr/lib/*/libtinfo.so.* -usr/lib/*/libtic.so.* I also confirmed that the updated libtinfo5-udeb works well under armel debian-installer with screen-udeb support. (I still haven't figure out how to build d-i under amd64, fortunately it's irrelevant to current topic) So I'm wondering whether you can accept the above modify (patch). Appreciate your continuous guidance and help! And look forward to your feedback. Cheers, -- Roger Shimizu, GMT +9 Tokyo PGP/GPG: 17B3ACB1
