Hi TUs,

In case you have missed it, there is an ncurses rebuild that is now finished in the [testing] repos. This requires most (if not all) programs that link to ncurses to be rebuilt. Depending on sign-offs, I am aiming to move this near the end of next week so it would be good to have your rebuilds ready to upload when this happens. I'll let you know closer to the time a more precise day for the move.

So the ncurses move has happened. But rebuilds are probably not so necessary..... Why? Well, many binary blobs like the libncurses.so.5 library so it got put back in the package. Any newly built packages will still link to the wide character version of the library so rebuilds may help with UTF8 bugs but should only be needed on a case by case basis. Allan
