I'm not sure... I could not tell from reading that... I do have both
packages they mention there installed.

   aptitude search libncurses |grep ^i
  i   libncurses5 
  i   libncurses5-dev
  i   libncursesw5

And 
   aptitude search libtinfo |grep ^i
  i A libtinfo-dev
  i A libtinfo5

Further I don't really know what ncurses has to do with .inputrc

Yeah, I'm pretty ignorant..
