What is the output of

aptitude search libncurses

on the build computer of the Ticket Report ( KeA ) ?

[anonymous]

Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS

$ aptitude search libncurses
v libncurses-dev -
p libncurses-gst - Ncurses bindings for GNU Smalltalk
p libncurses-ruby - ruby Extension for the ncurses C library
p libncurses-ruby1.8 - ruby Extension for the ncurses C library
p libncurses-ruby1.9.1 - ruby Extension for the ncurses C library
i libncurses5 - shared libraries for terminal handling
p libncurses5-dbg - debugging/profiling libraries for ncurses
i libncurses5-dev - developer's libraries and docs for ncurses
i libncursesw5 - shared libraries for terminal handling (wide character support)
p libncursesw5-dbg - debugging/profiling libraries for ncurses
p libncursesw5-dev - developer's libraries for ncursesw

The i at the begin of the line

i libncurses5-dev - developer's libraries and docs for ncurses

means that libncurses5-dev is allready installed on the build host.

Next step would be to find out if libncurses5-dev is installed in the debwrt build chroot.

[stappers]

On my buildhost, with hostname inertia did I, stappers, a test.

stappers@inertia:/usr/src/debwrt
$ aptitude search mips | wc
     52     325    4212
stappers@inertia:/usr/src/debwrt
$ sudo chroot build/debian-malta-le_Default-squeeze/
(debwrt-mipsel-squeeze)root@inertia:/# aptitude search mips | wc
    182    1117   14742
(debwrt-mipsel-squeeze)root@inertia:/# 

Legenda:

• /usr/src/debwrt : toplevel of debwrt svn checkout
• wc : Word Count program
• mips : architecture of my debwrt hardware
• malta : name of board
• squeeze : Debian version

What the test says is that in the debwrt build chroot are much more mips packages available.

[stappers]

KeA, please enter your debwrt build chroot.

sudo chroot /usr/src/debwrt/build/debian[TAB]

( you can leave the chroot environment with exit )

Do there

aptitude search libncurses

and update this ticket with the output.

Thanks Geert for the effort. Closing ticket due to no response from reporter.
