Installing libtinfo5 library

Hi there,

I am new to Clear Linux and still getting familiar with the OS but I have one question. I am trying to install the libtinfo.so.5 library for a program that I intend to run and I cannot seem to find a way install it with swupd. I tried to search for it with the following command: sudo swupd bundle-list --all but I was not able to see it on the available bundles.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :laughing:

$ sudo swupd search-file libtinfo.so.5

Searching for ‘libtinfo.so.5’

Bundle compat-common (3 MB to install)
/usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.5.9
/usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.5

it’s in the compat-common bundle, which contains a few other prehistoric libraries as well
(tinfo as the world ships it for several years now is at the .so.6 version)

Awesome, thank you! Still getting used to the environment and downloading packages :sweat_smile:
