Comment 1 Miroslav Lichvar 2007-02-23 10:05:54 UTC

This is related to bug #228891. Just remove /usr/lib*/libncurses.so.5 symlink,
and it should be ok.

This could be handled in a post script, but only upgrades from
ncurses-devel-5.5-25.20060715 and later are broken, I will see about that.

However, the emacs binary has RPATH /usr/lib64, that should be fixed.

Comment 2 Miroslav Lichvar 2007-03-08 14:11:25 UTC

Ok, the upgrade path won't be supported. Please remove the symlink manually.
