current: cd /lib ; ln -s libncurses.so.9 libncurses.so.8 xterm & ffox

[Julian H. Stacey]

Hi ports@
A libcurses version problem:

Running 13.0-CURRENT with
/usr/src
cat .svn_revision 359319
cat .ctm_status src-cur 14430
/usr/ports
cat .svn_revision 529842
cat .ctm_status ports-cur 13423

After
pkg upgrade
pkg autoremove
xterm & firefox failed with
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libncurses.so.8" not found, required by "xterm"

Fixed temporarily with:
cd /lib ; ln -s libncurses.so.9 libncurses.so.8 ; ldconfig -R

It's 6.1 in ports:
cd /usr/ports/devel/ncurses ; make ; find . -name \*libncurses.so\* | sort
./work/ncurses-6.1-20190525/build.nowidec/lib/libncurses.so

I think the recommended fix is to install misc/compat12x. I was suggested to
do that in another context and it worked for me. I gave the same suggestion
to someone else with the same problem and it also worked.

Thanks Lorenzo that worked, confirmed by
cd /lib ; mv libncurses.so.8 libncurses.so.8.jhs
cd /usr/ports/misc/compat12x ; make install ; reboot

To identify package name for others:
make package
produces
/usr/ports/packages/All/compat12x-amd64-12.1.1201000.20200220.txz
however no
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-current/All
& I dont see
"man pkg-info"
has an option to list what's available on repository
(Eventualy I found
http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/All/
with
compat12x-amd64-12.1.1201000.20200220.txz
pkg install compat12x-amd64-12.1.1201000.20200220
The most recent versions of packages are already installed
Which confirms the pkg name.)

Suggestion: to man pkg-info we should add to SEE ALSO http://pkg.freebsd.org

Please note however that in most cases you should not need compat12x.
What is normally needed is to rebuild all the ports that depend on ncurses
on your system. When this is not possible, for example because instead of using
ports you use an out of date package repository that you cannot update or
because you install a port that needs "hand made" packages (such as
i386-wine or i386-wine-devel), then you need compat12x.

It seems xterm and firefox are up to date in the official repository:
http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/All/ . I do not know how the
ports are built, it might be that they use some "hand made" packages.

Yeah, this ncurses bump was handled pretty badly, as it breaks almost
all installed ports (and a bunch of base programs too, if you are
unlucky). Isn't there any compat package for it yet?

When the bump occured a month ago, an UPDATING entry was added as usual to warn
everyone, a compat12x package has been created immediatly and all the packages
have been rebuilt. What else could have been done? Can you explain me what I
have badly done here?

Best regards,

Sorry about that, I realized that I was totally off-base here. At that
time I was simply annoyed that I had to rebuild all my ports againn, as
I mostly don't use packages. And I wasn't aware ncurses was added to
the compat12 package, I simply backed up my old ncurses.so.8
everywhere...
