Description Jonathan Kamens 2003-12-15 17:55:54 UTC 
Sysctl fails for me upon system startup because it is trying to use
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5, which doesn't exist yet since /usr hasn't
been mounted.
Either sysctl can't use curses, or the curses shared library needs to
move to /lib, or sysctl needs to link against the static curses library.
Comment 1 Jonathan Kamens 2003-12-15 18:33:48 UTC 
Ditto for libgpm.
Comment 2 Bernie Innocenti 2003-12-27 17:24:25 UTC 
I confirm this bug.

Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2004-01-19 10:42:19 UTC 
notting, what is your opinion on this?
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2004-01-19 17:11:47 UTC 
sysctl has no gui/tui, unless it's changed. Why is it linked against
ncurses?
Comment 6 Alexander Larsson 2004-01-20 09:10:00 UTC 
Right. The curses addition seems to be in the selinux patch:
+sysctl:        % : %.o
+       $(strip $(CC)  $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $< $(LIB_TGT) $(LIBCURSES)
$(SELINUX_LIBS))

This seems like a mistake in the patch.
Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2004-01-20 23:51:03 UTC 
Removed the link from the SELinux patch in procps-2.0.17-7
