There wasn't any common /etc/terminfo in base ncurses-5.7 package and I guess it's still isn't. So nano refused to start at all (like other apps where I added this RRECOMMENDS after we switched to 5.7 and apps started to fail. If it's so big problem then please improve ncurses-5.7 recipe to include most common terminfos and then feel free to drop those RRECOMMENDS I've added. Or just move to newer ncurses (ie because of problems with newer distributions on buildhost, also discussed here). Regards, > Thanks, > Mike -- Martin 'JaMa' Jansa jabber: Martin.Jansa@gmail.com
