Hi,

here is the list of packages that are now depending on
libtermcap.so.2. These packages need to be rebuilt against libncurses,
as we would like to have termcap and libtermcap dropped since FC7.

Please change BuildRequires to ncurses-devel and link with -lncurses
instead of -ltermcap. If the package needs to include termcap.h, the
file is in /usr/include/ncurses.

Drop me an email if you don't have time to do this, and I will take
care of your packages.

Thanks.

Core packages:

amanda
amanda-client
amanda-server
bash
bc
festival
gnupg
gnuplot
gnutls-utils
guile
lv
pilot-link
postgresql
postgresql-contrib
postgresql-devel
postgresql-server
procinfo
python
quagga
ruby-libs
tcsh
util-linux
xfsprogs
zsh

This list is missing 'readline-devel'. The base 'readline' package does not require libtermcap, but if you look at the spec file, you'll see that 'readline-devel' Requires: libtermcap-devel. This means that any package that has a BR: readline-devel likely gets linked with and ends up with an implicit Requires: on libtermcap...

Extras:

abiword
clips
clisp
cyphesis
[...]

...including cyphesis. Once readline is fixed, then many of these packages probably just need a rebuild to remove the libtermcap dependency.
