Unable to build AOSP - /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5:

[karen]

error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried creating a sym link called libncurses.so.5 like was suggested here:

What to do with rebuild-detector results

only wait new android-studio aur version we can use vscode for edit code (i not use android-studio ) adb not work with flutter ? you can create a sym link libncurses.so → libncurses.so.5

This results in error:
error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5: file too short

@karen

a sym link called libncurses.so.5

That won’t work, remove it. ncurses5-compatlibs (available in the AUR) provides that library.

I’m guessing i need to import someone’s key? but idk

[Yochanan]

Yes, but the default keyserver is dead. The issue is resolved with gnupg 2.2.29 which will come along in the next stable update. You can import the key like this for now:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 702353E0F7E48EDB
