Description
Running on debian stable, which has ncurses-6.4, I get when running the make command in chapter 6:
... ** Building terminfo database, please wait... Running tic to install /home/pierre/build/LFS-ESS/usr/share/terminfo
So it seems TIC_PATH is not honored. 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...
Note:

for help on using tickets.
