[ptxdist] External Kconfig menuconfig/nconfig failed

[Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com>]

Hi,

several weeks I have the following issue by calling:

ptxdist menuconfig kernel

or

ptxdist menuconfig barebox

Both failed, here is the ptxdist -v menuconfig kernel output:

ptxdist: Checking dependencies. This may take some seconds.

ptxdist: 'kernel menuconfig' returned with an error

I thought the reason was some "stupid" $TERM declartion. But when I try to use
some great terminal implementation like "xterm", I got the same issue.

Checking earlier ptxdist versions or kernels doesn't help. My
distribution "ArchLinux" updated some sofware which seems that they
introduced some API change, like the glibc change for setenv (Maybe it
is this issue also, I don't know exactly).

What works is calling "ptxdist menuconfig" inside my BSP. When I go into
my external kernel directory and calling "scripts/kconfig/mconf
Kconfig" or "make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf-'
menuconfig" - it works.

I also tried to call "nconfig" which ends in the same result.

My debugging efforts ends in the function [0] which I still try to
figure out what it does. :-)

At the moment I am stucked there and I need to workaround by "do some
manual config changes" this issue. Any help what I should try to
downgrade packages or changes into my lib/ptxdist-$FOOBAR directory are
welcome.

I also tried to look into libncurses if this was upgraded at my
distribution but this wasn't.
