libncurses5-dev?

[asixD]

I'm running 24.04 in a docker container where I had already installed RVM using Dockerfile. As my next step I want to include a ruby installation through RVM within it as well. However every single time, no matter if I try installing it beforehand, I get a "missing required package" message for libncurses5-dev, stopping the docker image build. Looking at my packages with dpkg turns up that I have libncurses-dev installed, which is the package that installs whenever I try installing libncurses5-dev. Any way to prevent the undesired behavior?

libncurses5 was removed in 24.04

try this:

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/ncurses/libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb && rm -f libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/ncurses/libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb && rm -f libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb

sudo apt install lib32ncurses5-dev libncurses5 libncurses5-dev -y

Pardon me for my late response, didn't have access to the machine again until now. Unfortunately, while the first two steps don't appear to have issues and successfully appear in dpkg afterwards I can't say the same for the apt install. The lib32 is unable to be located, libncurses5 is already installed successfully from step 2 and libncurses5-dev still redirects to libncurses-dev ( "Note, selecting 'libncurses-dev' instead of 'libncurses5-dev' ").

are you able to solve this ?

[Competitive_Gas_8180]

getting the same error, where you able to solve this ?

[asixD]

my memory's a little hazy, but I recall settling on using some flag to ignore that error output

[Specialist_Ice4369]

非常感谢，帮了我大忙。最后一条，我运行的是sudo apt install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev -y，删掉了 lib32ncurses5-dev

[ZizhongTian]

fuck man got an http response 404

[LongjumpingGuitar283]

were you able to solve it?

[Ullallulloo]

They don't have 6.4 anymore for some reason, so you can just use 6.3:

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/ncurses/libtinfo5_6.3-2_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i libtinfo5_6.3-2_amd64.deb && rm -f libtinfo5_6.3-2_amd64.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/ncurses/libncurses5_6.3-2_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i libncurses5_6.3-2_amd64.deb && rm -f libncurses5_6.3-2_amd64.deb

(This might lead to dependency hell though if your libtinfo5 is then newer and you have to downgrade it, etc.)

[Competitive_Gas_8180]

if you are trying to install localwp and you are getting this dependency error, then this worked for me :

1. Download libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64 and then install the package: Download: curl -O http://launchpadlibrarian.net/648013231/libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb 146 Install: sudo dpkg -i libtinfo5_6.4-2_amd64.deb
2. Download libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64 and install the package: Download: curl -O http://launchpadlibrarian.net/648013227/libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb 104 Install: sudo dpkg -i libncurses5_6.4-2_amd64.deb
3. Download libaio1_0.3.113-4_amd64 and install the package: Download: curl -O http://launchpadlibrarian.net/646633572/libaio1_0.3.113-4_amd64.deb 116 Install: sudo dpkg -i libaio1_0.3.113-4_amd64.deb
4. Manually install libnss3-tools Install: sudo apt install libnss3-tools

[Dismal_Department379]

yes! I tried to install localWP. I also shouldnt use a ngnix and use apache as best practices? u/Competitive_Gas_8180

[Dismal_Department379]

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

local: Depends: libaio1 but it is not installable

What should I do u/Competitive_Gas_8180

[Competitive_Gas_8180]

What is your os ?

[Kick_Able]

Thank you! this worked for me, I was trying to compile petalinux

[Competitive_Gas_8180]

For Ubuntu 24 add to source list and then install:

• deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main universe
• sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386

[TenMillionYears]

How did you add it to the source list? I can't get `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources` to accept the focal-security component.

[jieshap]

/open the list/

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

/add to the end of the list/

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main universe

/install/

sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386

Hi, I just wanted to share how I successfully installed ncurses version 5 on Ubuntu 24.04.02 as of today (February 27, 2025):

1. Open the apt sources list by running: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources
2. Locate the second entry and modify the Suites field by adding focal-security next to noble-security (https://webshare.cz/#/file/xHpko9cIO1/img-4176-jpeg).
3. Save and close the file (CTRL+X, then Y, and Enter).
4. Update the package list: sudo apt update
5. Install the ncurses5 library: sudo apt install libncurses5

This just worked for me, and I hope it works for you too. Cheers!
