Sorry, I definitely intended to remove those. Not sure how they
escaped. Gone now.

I'm not sure where libgettextlib gets its dependency on libncurses
from for you.

Due to your email, I've also bumped all packages using
mk/curses.buildlink3.mk and mk/terminfo.buildlink3.mk, perhaps that
improves the situation.

Let me know if these are fixed now or what further packages need a
PKGREVISION bump.

You should be on the safe side if you do a full pbulk. Then all
packages using ncurses will be rebuilt.

I think it's the other way round -- termcap is a smaller dependency
than curses, so we prefer to include that if curses is not needed, and
similarly for curses.
