There are two lines in doinst.sh installation script
for ncurses.tgz package.
Excerpt:
( cd usr/lib ; rm -rf libncurses.so )
( cd usr/lib ; ln -sf /lib/libncurses.so.5 libncurses.so )
!!!BAD!!! ( cd usr/lib ; rm -rf libcurses.so )
!!!BAD!!! ( cd usr/lib ; ln -sf libncurses.so
libcurses.so )

It first removes libncurses.so and then try links it at
itself.
At the end of installation you will have
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 linked to nothing.

I attached corected version of package.
