Another point interesting for upstream here, although it does not affect the current Debian package: even when building --with-abi-version=6 (i.e. the default), _nc_read_entry is still missing from the tinfo library unless --enable-widec is also given. That happens because NCURSES_EXT_NUMBERS is only #defined as 1 in curses.priv.h if NCURSES_EXT_COLORS is also not 0, but for the non-wide build it will be 0. Sven
