I'm uploading my first package to extras-devel, it's a patched release of nano, but it seems autobuilder fails out on ncurses issues.

I've included the Depends in the debian/control file but, the automaker system doesn't seem to have a linkable curses library.

What gives?

Thanks.

It pays of to show the error message and what you have in build-depends lines and other relevant info. It's not very interestig to go digging in autobuilder build logs.

Hi,

maybe the dev-package libncurses5-dev or libncursesw5-dev is missing in the build dependencies?

Build-Depends is for building, Depends is for installing binary package. So you are missing proper Build-Depends and Depends has dev stuff which doesn't belong there.

Finally, if it's a port of nano without a GUI, don't forget to either use the standard CLI icon or the CLI "badge" over the top of your nano icon .

The description should also include some text along the lines of "This text editor is intended to be used from within X Terminal. Type 'nano' to start."
