Re: Bug#28884: xaos_3.0-6: ncurses4 and ncurses3.4 ???

[Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net>]

This is probably not my problem, as maintainer of xaos. If someone on the
powerpc platform built xaos on a system that did not get have libgpm
upgraded, this would probably result. Can one of the powerpc porters confirm
and maybe fix it? To prvent you from needing a binary-only NMU, I will
upload -7 to unstable, with no changes on my end, but hopefully some powerpc
people can rebuild it with the right libraries in place.

There in no way that a suggests or pre-depends in a control file could
possibly cause this. Anyway, I have no mention of ncurses in the control
file.
