Bug#59962: sys/ucontext.h shouldn't define ERR



Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.1.3-5
Severity: important

The latest libc adds /usr/include/sys/ucontext.h which gets included
by signal.h. Amongs other things this headerfile defines the ERR
constant. Unfortunately (n)curses is been using ERR to report an error
status, so as a result it is no longer possible to compile a program
that uses both ncurses and signals.

Fix strategy: Ulrich Drepper mentioned this will be fixed by adding
prefixed to the defines in uconfig.h . 

Wichert.
