>Description:

I created a Fedora Core 8 instance in Amazon's EC2, then fetched the latest 
pkgsrc tarball
and extracted it.  After bootstrapping, I tried to build misc/screen, but it 
failed saying
that no suitable termcap library was found.

The reson for that appears to be that this image does not by default provide the
ncurses-devel rpm.

If this is needed, then maybe bootstrap should detect this and complain?

Otherwise, it would be nice if misc/screen could just pull in devel/ncurses
or whatever it may need instead of leaving the user guessing what packages
he needs to install.

>How-To-Repeat:
        Install Fedora Core 8 without any -devel packages.
        download pkgsrc
        bootstrap
        cd misc/screen
        bmake
