Comment (by ryandesign):
Well, for one thing, the newsboat port declares a dependency on the
ncurses port, which is at version 6.1 and provides `ncurses6-config`. Why
is newsboat looking for the older `ncurses5.4-config`? It looks like the
config.sh script has the ability to check for a dependency's existence
using `pkg-config`, and does so for the other dependencies, but doesn't do
that for ncurses. I'd probably start by patching config.sh to use `pkg-
config` to find ncurses too.
