Hi,

Since 37df6011, nano recommends ncurses-terminfo.

+# actually RDEPENDS, but ncurses-terminfo is only in ncurses-5.7, so 
RRECOMMENDS for now
+RRECOMMENDS_${PN} = "ncurses-terminfo"

ncurses-terminfo exists in 5.4: it contains 2.4 MB of terminfo data 
files that is just bloat for most people. (Then again, you could say 
nano is also just bloat. :) The base ncurses-5.4 package includes some 
common terminfo files in /etc/terminfo.

So for me, with ncurses 5.4, nano shouldn't depend on or recommend 
ncurses-terminfo - it just bloats up the image.

Is there something special in ncurses-terminfo 5.7 that nano needs?

Thanks,
Mike
