Some packages use -lcurses when they are linking, so they try to link to
a library called libcurses. The library provided by our ncurses package
is called libncurses, so those packages fail to link with a message like
this one:
/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurses
Installing a libcurses symlink to libncurses fixes the problem.
