#51165: ncurses @6.0.0 does not provide libncurses.5.dylib needed by xcode
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  lionteeth@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect       |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:               |       Port:
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 As I update my macports installation I find that ncurses 6 does not
 provide libncurses.5.dylib, which xcode is expecting. Downgrading to
 ncurses 5.9 solves the problem. Is the problem that my xcode is too old?
 This is not a bug in ncurses, but an upgrade path problem in some
 circumstances.

 Cheers,
 David
