Clean up Debian instructions

There are two packages, lib64ncurses5-dev and libncurses5-dev. The instructions we have are probably only for 64 bits.

Also, there is a note at the bottom about --fetch npm that we don't need anymore.

There are user reports that libncurses5-dev works on a 64 bit system, FYI.

Yup, that's probably possible, but I don't think lib64ncurses5-dev would work on a 32 bit system.

FYI, the new instructions (to be uploaded tomorrow morning) will say libncurses5-dev and will drop lib64ncurses5-dev.

Were those new instructions uploaded? The page on the site still refers to lib64ncurses5-dev.

I could have swear that @coffeemug opened a pull request for that (and that it was merged with 1.13), but I somehow cannot find it -_-

It was, here is the pull request -- https://github.com/rethinkdb/docs/pull/335

What happened?

Removing the "bug" label and reassigning to myself. I'll quickly spin up some 32 and 64 bits debian vm and test the instructions

I'm not sure what's going on, but lib64ncurses5-dev doesn't exist on Debian 64 bits, but does on Debian 32bits

Extra step for Debian 64 bits - Install libcurl4-openssl-dev

Jul 10 '14 00:07 neumino

Same thing for Debian 32 regarding libcurl4-openssl-dev
