# pkg check -s
ncurses-5.9.20150214: checksum mismatch for /usr/local/share/misc/terminfo.db

The problem is, ncurses will regenerate this file when used by a caller that
has write permission.  eg: using a ncurses consumer as root.  

IMHO, it should be treated as a generated file (eg: not packaged, post-install
runs a command to build it on the host, and removed unconditionally on
uninstall).
