Package: fbb Version: 7.07-3+b1 Severity: important In ncurses 6.1+20180210-1, the libncurses5-dev and libncursesw5-dev packages had been merged into a single libncurses-dev package. In fbb, this has the rather strange and undesirable effect that the configure script fails to properly detect support for either ncurses _or_ ncursesw:
,---- | checking for NcursesW wide-character library... yes | checking for working ncursesw/curses.h... yes | checking for working ncursesw.h... no | checking for working ncurses.h... yes `---- Clearly "checking for working ncursesw.h... no" is broken, and later xfbbC is not linked with -lncursesw or -lncurses.
