Eric peeked into the termcap problem. I've tested his patch and it
works. He will probably push a patch later today.

The termcap problem from asterisk is not related. It cannot find
libtermcap. This one does not exist any more with ncurses 5.7.

People how should we fix this? I know it has been discussed before,
but I don't recall a solution.
I bumped into this for a different package too. There I fixed things
by adding a patch, but I am not sure if that is really the desired
solution.

Best regards, Frans
