G'day sparc people,
This bug is for whoever does the sparc version of lprng, it is not a
generic deb or upstream issue.

Yes I'm running a sparc version of Debian GNU/Linux. So there's probably no
problem with the archive.
How will the problem be solved ? Will there be a new upload of libncurses of a
new upload of lprng ?
Looking at the BTS I saw that libncurses was upgraded to 3.1 due to problems
with glibc2.1 on version 3. And if I'm not mistaken, the sparc port is based on
a pre-version of glibc2.1. This is probably why the sparc package for lprng
places a dependency on this specific version.
