[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#846481: Bug#846481: src:treeviewx: Please remove statically linked code copy of libncl

[Sascha Steinbiss]

Hi,

> treeviewx seems to be unmaintained upstream but according to popcon

FYI just from a quick look, this might not be trivial... I tried to
build treeviewx with Debian's libncl but then noticed that even the
names of the header files seem to differ between the embedded 2.0 and
the 2.1.18 in Debian. I can look into it in more detail when I find the
time.

Cheers
