I always build and install ports via the ports system using `portmaster`
and never use `pkg`.
Just now, I rebuilt lang/python27 and lang/python35.
But, still on my machine,
```
% ldd /usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_curses.so
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_curses.so:
libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x801212000)

libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800822000)
libintl.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 (0x802057000)
libutil.so.9 => /lib/libutil.so.9 (0x802262000)
libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x802475000)
```
And devel/ncurses is explicitly required by them.
```

What's happening on my machine?
My uname is here.
```
