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.

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, seehuhn. de/
