Bug#2436: bash with shared readline library breaks ncurses3.0 postinst script



Package: ncurses3.0

A new version of Bash that uses the shared readline library was recently
uploaded. Readline uses the shared ncurses library. The ncurses postinst
won't run under this version of Bash, because Bash won't run if
/lib/libncurses.so.3.0 is not in place.

To fix this, you need to have the package unpack the library to
/lib/libncurses.so.3.0-new, and then have the postinst file "mv" it
into place.

	Thanks
