Description
As tests performed by cvicentiu revealed in:
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDBF-883 and
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDBF-866
we are facing the following issues that shall be addressed for the current release.
The first one is related to the extra dependency of mariadb client
					ERROR: We have extra deps for bin/mariadb! {'libtinfo.so.6'}  | 
		
This is caused by a couple missing functions in the static library libncurses.a in both centos-7-bintar and almalinux-8-bintar.
Although libtinfo.a is present in the CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH, CMAKE / readline.cmake cannot detect it and it actually looks for the shared tinfo library
https://buildbot.mariadb.org/#/builders/857/builds/1/steps/5/logs/stdio
From the logs:
					-- Found Curses: /scripts/local/lib/libcurses.a  
			 | 
		
					-- Looking for tputs in /scripts/local/lib/libcurses.a  | 
		
					-- Looking for tputs in /scripts/local/lib/libcurses.a - not found  | 
		
					-- Looking for tputs in tinfo  | 
		
					-- Looking for tputs in tinfo - found  | 
		
					-- Looking for setupterm in tinfo  | 
		
					-- Looking for setupterm in tinfo - found  | 
		
					-- Looking for vidattr in tinfo  | 
		
					-- Looking for vidattr in tinfo - not found  | 
		
					-- Looking for include files curses.h, term.h  | 
		
					-- Looking for include files curses.h, term.h - found  | 
		
For CMAKE to succesfully find tputs, setupterm and vidattr in libncurses.a
the .src.rpm of NCURSES should be altered to remove the following configuration parameters and then compile again.
					--with-terminfo-dirs=%{_sysconfdir}/terminfo:%{_datadir}/terminfo \\\
			 | 
		
					--with-termlib=tinfo \\\
			 | 
		
					--disable-wattr-macros
			 | 
		
The second problem is related to the duplicate libgalera_smm.so in the final binary tarball.
This is caused by specifying CMAKE -DEXTRA_FILES flag which was set to include the library in both paths i.e.:
					-DEXTRA_FILES="${WSREP_PROVIDER}=lib;${WSREP_PROVIDER}=lib/galera;"  |
