Running bash with box86 errors with Error initializing native libtinfo.so.6

[Yeshey]

Trying to run steamcmd.sh with bash, and it errors with Error: file is not found (check BOX64_PATH)

setting BOX86_LOG=1 lets us see that the problem is libtinfo.so.6:

I've tried installing these libraries with no luck : libncurses6 libncurses5 libtinfo5 libtinfo6

This is the Dockerfile I'm trying to run in a Oracle server with arm/v8:

FROM weilbyte/box:debian-11

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    git \
    wget \
    libncurses6 libncurses5 libtinfo5 libtinfo6

# Download and install SteamCMD
RUN mkdir -p ~/Steam && \
    cd ~/Steam && \
    wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz && \
    tar zxvf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz && \
    chmod +x steamcmd.sh

RUN git clone https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86 ~/box86

ENV BOX86_LOG=1

ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/local/bin/box86", "/root/box86/tests/bash", "/root/Steam/steamcmd.sh"]

But running directly the steamcmd executable directly seems to work:

I had the same problem...
with box64 it works fine tho, so maybe try this?

By searching for an answer as well, I found out that libtinfo.so.6 somehow doesnt seem to exist on the system after installing "libncurses6 libncurses5 libtinfo5 libtinfo6". And someone on a forum wrote that it doesnt get shipped with some versions of them. So using a different source for those packages might be the answer to solving this problem.
