{{{
...
** Building terminfo database, please wait...
Running tic to install /home/pierre/build/LFS-ESS/usr/share/terminfo
}}}

Then this tic creates a /usr/share/terminfo directory with a lot of symlinks, while recent tic uses hardlinks. This creates a problem later in chapter 8, where copying the dest dir to / creates symlinks pointing to themselves! Hence the error message mentioned in the subject..."	defect	closed	normal	12.4	Book	git	major	fixed
