Details:

On commit e93569c97f of
https://codeberg.org/boud/elaphrocentre/commits/branch/maneage-c-merge, which
is a merge with Maneage commit b1bd282, two separate configure cycles starting
from scratch have had an error where the configure fails because of missing
terminal libraries, just after compiling 'less'. A second _configure
--existing-conf_ step works successfully.

Using


egrep "proglib|Cannot find terminal libraries - configure failed"


on the log files gives in one run

These runs are on many cpus, so the chronological order of stdout is not going
to be exactly reproducible.

Hypothesis: 'less' probably needs a 'make' dependence on the package providing
terminal libraries.
