Package: libnotcurses-core-dev Version: 3.0.7+dfsg.1-1+b1 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, libntocurses-core-dev provides a pkg-config snippet that declares a dependencey on 'tinfo'. This means, that without 'libtinfo-dev' (or rather 'libncurses-dev', which provides the former) installed, it's impossible to use something like: > pkg-config --cflags notcurses This is especially annoying, as pkg-config is often invoked in configure scripts that will well hide the error message, and just result in "Checking for notcurses...no" (even if libnotcurses-dev is installed). I therefore suggest to: - either remove the dependency on 'tinfo' from the pkg-config snippet (if that is useful/possible) - OR add a dependency on libtinfo-dev (or rather libncurses-dev, as the former is transitioning to the latter) to libnotcurses-core-dev -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libnotcurses-core-dev depends on: ii libnotcurses-core3 3.0.7+dfsg.1-1+b1 Versions of packages libnotcurses-core-dev recommends: ii libnotcurses-dev 3.0.7+dfsg.1-1+b1 libnotcurses-core-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
