Subject: Clear and reset do not work at bash prompt

Hello,

I installed the ncurses package so that I would have the 'clear' command
available in my bash shell, but it does not work. :(

I get the following error:

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

Thoughts?

- Dave

This was fixed in commit 6d69a7e of the core-updates branch that’s about
to be merged.

Thanks!
