Dependency ncurses.tcz Missing

[SamK]

After updating a TC3 system today it was no longer possible to start gmplayer with the alsa-oss compatibilty extension (aoss gmplayer...).  On checking for missing dependencies via App Browser ncurses.tcz is reported as a missing dependency. 

As everything worked OK prior to the update should the now missing dependency have been installed automatically to prevent breaking an otherwise working system?

There is a recent change. ncurses is moving out from the base to extension ncurses.tcz therefore it is added to the .dep file of extensions using ncurses. update is adding new and missing dependencies to your system to keep integrity, so it must not cause any problem.

Also few ncurses-... extensions were removed as their content is provided by the new ncurses.tcz

ncurses-terminfo.tcz.list has some unnecessary items at the start.

OK, will check.

Fixed, update posted. Thanks for noting.

I may be misunderstanding here - are you saying that the missing dependency should have been added automatically when the update was run?  This did not happen in my case.  The sound system stopped working following the update and the missing dependency (ncurses.tcz) had to be identified manually and be installed manually to return the system to a working condition.
