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=20
by you, could this just bug end by affecting the Postgresql server part =
in some way?.

Thank you so much,
Best regards,
