Description Pierre Ossman 2016-11-08 14:59:34 UTC 
LSB 4.1 requires libncurses.so.5:

http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_4.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/libncurses.html

However redhat-lsb-core pulls in libncurses.so.6.
Comment 1 Ondrej Vasik 2016-11-08 19:52:42 UTC 
You are right. Even LSB 5.0 still requires libncurses.so.5 ... ncurses provides compat lib - so we can require the compat lib in redhat-lsb-core if necessary. 

Mirku, what do you think? Is there any good reason for requiring the old soname in redhat-lsb? Or is this more rigidness of LSB spec?
Comment 2 Miroslav Lichvar 2016-11-09 07:38:39 UTC 
Yes, if LSB requires the ncurses 5 ABI, then redhat-lsb needs to depend on the ncurses-compat-libs.

However, there is no devel package for ncurses5 in Fedora, so it may difficult to compile binaries that would conform to LSB.
Comment 3 Ondrej Vasik 2016-11-10 14:12:43 UTC 
Added ncurses-compat-libs dependency in redhat-lsb-4.1-33.fc26 . Closing Rawhide...
Comment 4 Pierre Ossman 2016-11-10 14:13:23 UTC 
No fix for 24 or 25?
Comment 5 Ondrej Vasik 2016-11-10 14:37:28 UTC 
Ok, will do the builds and update for released fedoras as well...
