libncursesw.so.5

Mon Jul 04, 2016 3:44 pm

Hi everyone,

I've updated libncursesw.so.5 to libncursesw.so.6 because one package required it. However, I did not updated all the packages like I should have, so most of them still ask for libncursesw.so.5 and refuse to work.
As a consequence, I cannot log in my raspberry pi! After a successful login via ssh the connection is lost for instance. When using screen + keyboard, a successful login triggers a reset and I'm asked my login again...
It appears that I would need to copy/paste on the sd card a copy of libncursesw.so.5 and temporarily link the files to be able to login and then do a system update.
But I cannot find that file. Any clue where to find libncursesw.so.5 to download?
