Bug#1015747: libnotcurses-core-dev: missing dependency on libtinfo-dev

Show all headers | View raw

Package: libnotcurses-core-dev
Version: 3.0.7+dfsg.1-1+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


libntocurses-core-dev provides a pkg-config snippet that declares a
dependencey on 'tinfo'.

This means, that without 'libtinfo-dev' (or rather 'libncurses-dev',
which provides the former) installed, it's impossible to use something
like:
> pkg-config --cflags notcurses

This is especially annoying, as pkg-config is often invoked in configure
scripts that will well hide the error message, and just result in
"Checking for notcurses...no" (even if libnotcurses-dev is installed).

I therefore suggest to:
- either remove the dependency on 'tinfo' from the pkg-config snippet
  (if that is useful/possible)
 - OR add a dependency on libtinfo-dev (or rather libncurses-dev, as the
   former is transitioning to the latter) to libnotcurses-core-dev
