Hmm. But configure is regenerated (on a second build dpkg-source
complains that 'configure' has changed). And I checked that the
updated configure has the debian terminfo directory, added from the
aclocal patch.
Run dpkg-buildpackage and check the configure file:
grep terminfo configure
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for terminfo" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking for terminfo... " >&6; }
MISC_TERMINFO_DIRS=`$nc5config --terminfo`
/usr/lib/terminfo \
/usr/share/terminfo \
/usr/share/lib/terminfo \
/usr/local/lib/terminfo \
/lib/terminfo"
What test are you doing to determine that this problem is not fixed?
It is possible I guess that the configure flie is being updated too
late so the dir is not checked in time, but I just checked
that removing the /usr/share/terminfo did not break the build.
So I think I must be misunderstanding something here.
I realise that my latest attempt at a fix is not at all clean, and
makes the package one of those annoying 'won't build twice' packages,
but it did seem to me to be working.
Thanks for checking - I do actually want to get this right, although I
was hoping to avoid investing loads of time in a major autoconf update
(even though that is the right thing to do).
