Package: ne Version: 3.0.1-2+b1 Severity: minor User: ncur...@packages.debian.org Usertags: libncurses5-dependency
The ne binary is linked with ncurses, although it only uses functions from tinfo. This causes an unnecessary dependency on libncurses5, as can be seen in the build logs: ,---- | dh_shlibdeps -a | dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/ne/usr/bin/ne was not linked against libncurses.so.5 (it uses none of the library's symbols) `---- The solution is to link with -ltinfo rather than -lcurses in src/makefile. Will send a patch as soon as I have the bug number. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.4-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ne depends on: ii libc6 2.23-2 ii libncurses5 6.0+20160625-1 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20160625-1 Versions of packages ne recommends: ii ne-doc 3.0.1-2 ne suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
