Details

Description:
With ncurses installed pkg-config ncurses returns 1 (not installed) instead of 0 (installed).
The package gpsd does this check to see if it can build gpsmon. Since it fails to build gpsmon
the gpsd package does not contain it any more.


Additional info:
I manually built gpsd to get gpsmon for my system by using the following ncurses.pc file:
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include/ncurses
major_version=5
version=5.9

Name: ncurses
Description: ncurses 5.9 library
Version: ${version}
Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lncurses
Cflags: -I${includedir}


Steps to reproduce:
With ncurses installed do:
pkg-config ncurses; echo $?
