You linked *statically*?  If so, then you only need to "require:" 
terminfo (runtime). Buildtime dependencies are ncurses and terminfo. 
However, it hasn't yet been decided whether the "requires:" line should 
list runtime or buildtime dependencies.  I've been going with buildtime.

If you were to build dynamically, then you need to add 'libncurses6' to 
both runtime and buildtime dependency lists.
