Thanks, unfortunately this upload uncovered an old but hitherto hidden
bug in the build system that would lead to random build failures after
patching configure.in, see #1035621. It is only by chance that none of
the three arches where ncurses 6.4-3 FTBFS is a release architecture.
To fix that problem I have uploaded ncurses 6.4-4, see the attached
debdiff against 6.4-3. The good news is that the files in the binary
packages should be identical, except for changelog.Debian.gz of course.
Cheers,
Sven
