Thanks! I love continuous builds. This is the reason:
configure: WARNING: curses is not available, so not building talk
There should be some logic to not build man pages when a tool is not
enabled. Still, any developer making a real release needs to have all
tools installed so that the man page exists in the *.tar.gz archive
properly.
So I think you will need to improve the nix builder to have the curses
library available (so your 'make dist' builds are complete), and I'll
improve inetutils to not build/install man pages for a disabled tool.
