tmux error with ncurses 6.5-1

Since last update of ncurses to 6.5-1 on testing, tmux no longer work.

tmux: /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6: version `NCURSES6_TINFO_6.4.current' not found (required by tmux)

Re: tmux error with ncurses 6.5-1

Does it go away if you rebuild tmux against the new ncurses?

Did you notice any other breakage so far? I probed a few packages and they all seemed to work, but the type of incompatibility strongly suggests that others are broken asweell

Re: tmux error with ncurses 6.5-1

I tested a few and deemed it a success the moment I saw anything ncurse-y.

Tested fine:
alsa-utils (requires libncursesw.so): alsamixer works
gptfdisk (requires libncursesw.so): cgdisk works
screen (requires libncursesw.so): screen works
htop (requires libncursesw.so): htop works
profanity (requires libncursesw.so): profanity works
iftop works
ccze -m curses works
less works
libcaca: cacaview works
ncdu works
texinfo: info works

Tested bad:
tmux: tmux doesn't work

Tested inconclusive:
pinentry: pinenentry-curses does not crash with an error, but I don't see curses either.
udftools: found no curses interface.
inetutils: is telnet curses? if so it works

EDIT: More tests

On my side I also test cmus and foot. Both work.

Re: tmux error with ncurses 6.5-1

I found an issue: the new ncurses package conflicts with "wezterm-terminfo" as they both provide "/usr/share/terminfo/w/wezterm" (so for me, it cannot be installed)
