Thanks for taking care, and apologies for the belated reply. To avoid FTBFS problems complicating the ncurses5 -> ncurses6 transition, I made this change in ncurses back in the day: ,---- | ncurses (6.1+20180210-2) unstable; urgency=medium | | * Temporarily add ncurses{w,}5-config compatibility symlinks. | | -- Sven Joachim <svenj...@gmx.de> Thu, 26 Apr 2018 18:07:30 +0200 `---- I intend to finally remove these "temporary" symlinks after the Bookworm release, after which the will most likely FTBFS, as nothing has changed in the package since 2018. Cheers, Sven
