#    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    List as sections
#
#    You can define all the "list" as [section:key].
#    Each line will be considered as a option to the list.
#    Let's take [app] / source.exclude_patterns.
#    Instead of doing:
#
#[app]
#source.exclude_patterns = license,data/audio/*.wav,data/images/original/*
#
#    This can be translated into:
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns]
#license
#data/audio/*.wav
#data/images/original/*
#


#    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    Profiles
#
#    You can extend section / key with a profile
#    For example, you want to deploy a demo version of your application without
#    HD content. You could first change the title to add "(demo)" in the name
#    and extend the excluded directories to remove the HD content.
#
#[app@demo]
#title = My Application (demo)
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns@demo]
#images/hd/*
#
#    Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#buildozer --profile demo android debug

Could you share the full debug session or a least more context lines of the error. Because often the reason of the error doesn't appear in just the few last lines. The more you give, the more it helps to understand what went wrong

You need ncurses5, or something like that.

We should check for this and give an explicit message about it.

[AndreMiras]

Yes #1858 and #1750

[inclement]

Closing as a duplicate of #1858

Thanks @AndreMiras, I knew I'd seen this before but couldn't find the issue.
