Does it means that libtinfo.so.6 provided by foss2021b is not compatible with ubuntu provided bash ?
Is it safe to manually remplace "easybuild/software/ncurses/6.2-GCCcore-11.2.0/lib/libtinfo.so.6" with libtinfo.so.6 provided by ubuntu ?

@Micket I'm a bit nervous that easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs@d1adb4a caused this issue (sorry not relevant I think)

That change only touched SYSTEM toolchain versions of ncurses and the error above is in ncurses/6.2-GCCcore-11.2.0.

It's actually the lack of doing the exact same fix for ncurses-6.2-GCCcore-11.2.0.eb (yet) which seems to be the cause here.

@Micket: Applying easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs@d1adb4a to ncurses-6.2-GCCcore-11.2.0.eb solves the problem

Thank you.

This problem was indeed fixed in easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs#16270, those changes are included with EasyBuild v4.6.2
