Last update git log tells me:

commit 6b02dcbe6709c95d01d3b83056fe2dcddc34f543

     devel/ncurses: Update version 6.4=>6.5

     - Remove ftp MASTER_SITES

     Changelog: https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.html#index-t20240427



My last build was around March 31.  Back then it did not build the ncurses package at all.

And I can confirm I still do have:

-r--r--r--  1 root wheel 49 Jun 17 19:09 /usr/lib/libncursesw.so

that Mk/Uses/ncurses.mk checks for.


Maybe a dependency changes and pull in the port now forcefully which makes this visible?

And the winner is:

     sysutils/tmux: Fix crash when text selection using mouse

     I re-ported a patch originally ported to 3.2a by Tobias Brick, a
     Microsoft employee to 3.3a. The patch depends on ncurses 6.4-20230423 or
     later so I bind this port to ncurses:port.

     See commit message of the patch for detail [1]

     [1] https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux/blob/a1f78f2/SPECS/tmux/manual-patch-to-fix-crash-due-to-change-to-ncurses.patch

But also reveals a problem elesewhere in the system... likely ncurses.mk logic?
