Subject: [ISSUE] ncurses-base as dependency to nano and bash/ncurses-libs
Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2019 07:49:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <gh-mailinglist-notifications-41a7ca26-5023-4802-975b-f1789d68868e-void-packages-14488@inbox.vuxu.org> (raw)

New issue by am11 on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/14488
Description:
<!-- Don't request update of package. We have a script for that. https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/void-updates/void-updates.txt . However, a quality pull request may help. -->
### System
* xuname:
`Void 4.9.184-linuxkit x86_64-musl GenuineIntel uptodate rF`
* package:
`bash-5.0.009_1`
`nano-4.4_1`
### Expected behavior
With `base-minimal` (voidlinux-musl docker e.g.), when we install bash or nano, these packages should install ncurses-base package for the software to function.
### Actual behavior
After some googling and figuring out, it appears that the `ncurses-base` (and more granually, what Alpine Linux ports calls `ncurses-terminfo-base`) package is the one which is missing.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
nano:
```sh
docker run -it voidlinux/voidlinux-musl
# inside the container
xbps-install -S
xbps-install -y nano
nano
# terminates with:
Error opening terminal: xterm.
# to fix the error
xbps-install ncurses-base
nano # it works!
```
bash:
```sh
docker run -it voidlinux/voidlinux-musl
# entered the container
xbps-install -S
xbps-install -y bash
bash
# entered bash
# type something and press ENTER
ls
# type something again and press ENTER
cd
# now press UP and UP, it looks like:
cdls
#instead of
ls
# similarly, back arrow key to navigate cursor does not move the caret.
# also, BACKSPACE renders spaces instead of erasing the character at caret.
# etc.
# to fix these issues
xbps-install ncurses-base
# exit and reenter bash to get the keybindings behave correctly
```
