------- Additional Comments From pertusus at free.fr  2008-01-03 04:58 EST -------
I am looking at the gpm and ncurse cross dependencies, and 
it looks like something needs a bit of explanation. I don't 
understand exactly what is happening, but it looks like there
are cross-dependencies in the 2 libraries. The issue is mitigated
by some workarounds, but overall it looks quite wrong to me.
It looks like ncurses dlopens gpm looking at the soname found
at build time... which is not right.

Moreover this leads to a loop build dependency between the 2 
packages.
