After ncurses is built and old version is dispelled, sorcery tries to run INSTALL and fails somewhere in the beginning with a bash-induced error (something about libncursesw.so.5). So ncurses stays dispelled. After that, bash doesn't start, with the same error. Happened on i586 and on x86_64.

Hi All,

It looks like ncurses upgrade from 5.4 to 5.5 never works right because after dispelling the old version sorcery fails to install a new one. The reason is that new bash process can't be started, it misses ncurses shared libs. The solution for now is to copy /sbin/bash.static to /bin/bash and recast ncurses (and then bash).
I tried it on two machines with test grimoire, both had the same problem.


How does this fail for you? I have successfully updated to ncurses 5.5
on two different machines. At least from all I can tell was successful.
