Did you test this with a large number of ncurses reverse dependencies
(i.e packages that depend on ncurses) ?

Major updates to ncurses tend to easily break packages that rely on
ncurses, so we really need to check a good number of packages before
committing this. Could you indicate which Buildroot configuration you
have tested to validate this bump?

Thanks,

Thomas
