Closed issue by lambdadog on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/11718 Description: This has mostly caused issues in regards to Haskell for me personally, as mentioned in #7403 (although I've also had issues with building several Haskell packages, including Haskeline), but I can only imagine there are issues elsewhere as well. While it's possible to modify software packaged for Void to use libncurses rather than libtinfo, I assume, when used for a developer system it's often impossible or infeasible to modify all of the software and libraries you're using to conform to Void Linux's choices. As mentioned in [this comment](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/4711#issuecomment-480614106), most distributions have standardized on providing libtinfo along with libncurses, and I'm of the opinion that Void Linux should follow suit.
