Ah, looks like a good opportunity to kill the libncursesw stuff and move
back to plain libncurses. I'll upload a package that should fix this
shortly.

Thanks for bringing the log to my attention.

just for the record, libncursesw also provides tgetent (the cited log doesn=
't
show enough detail to say whether it is related).

It looks like some build dependency is missing. When I build the
package in a normal system, it works and I get:

configure: checking select return value...
- select can't count
configure: checking for tgetent...
configure: checking libcurses...
- you use the terminfo database
configure: checking ospeed...

However, in a minimal chroot with only the build dependencies listed
by screen, I get:

configure: checking select return value...
- select can't count
configure: checking for tgetent...
configure: checking libcurses...
configure: checking libtermcap...
configure: checking libtermlib...
configure: checking libncurses...
configure: error: !!! no tgetent - no screen
make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1

Probably the configure script is looking only in libtermcap and libcurses.
Generally I work around things like that by presetting $LIBS, e.g.,

 export LIBS=3D"-lncursesw"

Subject: bug#269366 - regenerating configure solves the problem

--gBBFr7Ir9EOA20Yy
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hello,

I found the cause for the problem described in Debian bug #269366.
The Debian package uses libcursesw5-dev as a build-dependency and
patches configure.in to check for libcursesw.

Unfortunately only configure.in is patched, but the configure script
was not regenerated from the new configure.in file. Thus configure
still does not contain the test for tgetent in libncursesw.so, and
so the build fails.

The problem can be fixed by regenerating configure from configure.in,
and including the changes in the diff.

I hope this helps,
Jochen

Yes, please NMU.

I'm bogged down with stupid dayjob work, and haven't had time to devote
to debian for the past month or so.
