Auc - libncurses error

[lamelogin]

When running auc, I'm getting a libncurses error, but I don't have "libncurses" installed. Is anyone else getting this error?

It does not stop the update process nor does it seem to harm the packages with libncurses6 dependencies.

libcurses might be a dependency for something on the new release

I'm not seeing this on SNAPSHOT

I'd recommend moving to SNAPSHOT if you want to use auc at present, cutting edge is fun.

There's something strange going on with the sysupgrade database, see the firmware selector thread (link below).

But, you actually do have libncurses installed, it's an alias for libncurses6:

The OpenWrt Firmware Selector

Yeah, looks like a build issue somewhere, as this is happening across versions and targets, although I dug through failure logs and found nothing (https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/ "faillogs*" down near the bottom). I also see it on 22.03 and SNAPSHOT, x86 and mt7622... Side note: libncurses is just an alias for libncurses6, you can see this in the "provides" section of package info, and in many instances you can interchange the name. $ opkg info libncurses6 Package: libncurses6 Version…

You can see what depends on it using whatdepends:

$ opkg whatdepends libncurses
