I need devel/ncurses, because it is needed by the ftp client. (The
bootstrap for pkgsrc assumes I have ncurses!)

When installing devel/ncurses, the file list is different. For example:

Actual:
-include/curses.h
-man/man3/COLOR_PAIR.3ncurses
-man/man3/can_change_color.3ncurses
-man/man3/form_field_info.3form
-man/man3/item_count.3menu

Doesn't exist:
+include/ncurses.h
+man/man3/COLOR_PAIR.3
+man/man3/can_change_color.3
+man/man3/form_field_info.3
+man/man3/item_count.3

Most man pages are named differently.

I will need to look at why man/edit_man.sed specifications are created
wrong.

The build also does:

 checking if you wish to install curses.h... no
 ...
 installing curses.h in /usr/include

Although the pkgsrc Makefile has
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-curses-h

Also, I see the pkgsrc Makefile doesn't install clear.1 tput.1 tset.1 man
pages. I think I want these too.

Anyways, is anyone else using devel/ncurses under Linux?
