The linkage of libtermcap is useless, because all termcap stuff is done
by the S‐Lang library. This bug was caused by #575284. The output of
ncurses5-config --terminfo changed from /etc/terminfo to
/usr/share/terminfo, due to #509919, but /usr/share/terminfo wasn't
included in any of the base ncurse packages. This caused the configure
check for terminfo failed and the linking with libtermcap be pulled in.

From the build log:

checking for ncurses5-config... /usr/bin/ncurses5-config
checking for terminfo... no

A rebuild with a fixed ncurses package should make this bug vanishes.

Bye, Jörg.
