[krbdev.mit.edu #1615] Compile error

[sheep8@ziplip.com via RT]

Thanks Tom.

You can close the issue.  

The library for 'tgetent' is contained in the ncursesdev5 package in debian and this package is not installed in the base install.  (I'm new to this distro and didn't know)  After I stopped trying to find a problem with kerberos and went to the debian lists, I found tons of messages on compile issues with 'tgetent' references, most not with kerberos, but still applicable.

Cheers.
