Update to recent version of the libraries and tools, but keep the former terminfo-db to stay compatible with ver 5.7, which can not handle newer 32-bit terminfo definitions. A proper update could be done by uninstalling ncurses_terminfo_compat and omitting the deletion of the terminfo tree in ncurses.be0 Update procedure: #> bee remove ncurses-5.7-0.x86_64 #> bee install ncurses_compat-5.7-1 #> bee install ncurses_terminfo_compat-5.7-0 #> bee install ncurses-6.2-0.x86_64

Works for me! Go ahead! |

Checked a bit further, rebuild existing versions of w3m, xterm, and gpm. They kept working, and the now introduced libtinfo joggled into place. So the next level is 'helpdesk' :) |
