Summary: ncurses library is incorrectly installed in /lib,
not /usr/lib
Description:
libncurses.so is installed in /lib, which is reserved for libraries needed
for boot and operation of /bin and /sbin commands.
Other packages (e.g. CUnit) expect to find it there.

shells typically link against ncurses hence it goes in /lib
if you have a package which expects a library in a certain directory then
that package is broken

Maybe on your systems, not ours, but you should still be able to configure
it.
The ncurses.mk file hardwires it.
