[Pkg-gnu-smalltalk-devel] Bug#646140: gnu-smalltalk: Missing build dependency on libncurses-dev

[Sven Joachim]

Package: gnu-smalltalk
Version: 3.2.4-1
Severity: serious

The gnu-smalltalk source package builds a binary package libncurses-gst
with "Ncurses bindings for GNU Smalltalk" (package description).  You
need to build-depend on libncurses-dev for that, since libreadline-dev
no longer pulls in that package for you.

Additionally, trying to build in a clean sid chroot fails with a
help2man error:

,----
| ../build-aux/help2man -p gst \
| 	  --name "GNU Smalltalk documentation generator" \
| 	  "../gst-tool  gst-doc -I ../gst.im --kernel-dir ../kernel" >gst-doc.1
| help2man: can't get `--help' info from ../gst-tool  gst-doc -I ../gst.im --kernel-dir ../kernel
| make[3]: *** [gst-doc.1] Error 1
| make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/gnu-smalltalk-3.2.4/doc'
`----

You probably want to investigate that as well.
