Public bug reported:
Upon inspecting the i386 and amd64 packages of libncurses5/xenial, there
appears to be an error in the libc6 dependency for the i386 case:
$ dpkg -I libncurses5_6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb | grep Depends
Depends: libtinfo5 (= 6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1), libc6 (>= 2.14)
$ dpkg -I libncurses5_6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1_i386.deb | grep Depends
Depends: libtinfo5 (= 6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1), libc6 (>= 2.4)
As you can see, the amd64 version indicates a libc6 version of 2.14 or
greater, but the i386 version says 2.4 or greater. It would appear that
this is a typo, since it should match the amd64 case and that there is
no libc6 version in Ubuntu with that version number. Ubuntu Zesty has a
libc6 version of 2.24-7ubuntu2.
