Re: BUG #12344: libcurses issue with psql binary of Solaris package

Good afternoon,

Thank you so much for the fast response. If I let it that way, without rebuilding and knowing the issue in one of the libraries mentioned
by you, could this just bug end by affecting the Postgresql server part in some way?.

Thank you so much,
Best regards,
