Overview

New curses Libraries

Edit Package ncurses

As soon as a text application needs to directly control its output to
the screen (if it wants to place the cursor at location (x,y) then
write text), ncurses is used. The panel and the forms libraries are
included in this package. These new libraries support color, special
characters, and panels.

Runtime cyclic dependency of terminfo-base and libncurses6:

$ rpm -q --requires terminfo-base | grep ncurses
ncurses >= 6.5.20240713

$ rpm -q --requires libncurses6|grep terminfo
terminfo-base

Are these packages really depend on each other, and if yes, can we repackage and merge them?

This makes no sense ... the basic terminal description data base has nothing to do with a shared library ... also in libncrurses or better libtinfo there is a minimal set of compiled in database for the default terminals used at boot (like the linux terminal or on s390 the ibm327x terminal)

We could change the Requires to a Recommend ... simply because you can install terminfo-base without library but you can not use it without libncurses6
