Why can't we get the work-around committed for now?  A lot of things depend on ncurses, and it's a fallacy to assume that a lot of people don't track trunk and it can be safely broken for periods of time. :-(

However, I'm on vacation. Can this wait a week? It's a problem that only affects trunk.

After the changes to the "file delete" implementation, the installation of
ncurses fails because it tries to follow the target of a symbolic link.


By reversing the order of the arguments from

delete ${destroot}${prefix}/share ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/terminfo

into

delete ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/terminfo ${destroot}${prefix}/share

ncurses installs correctly (lib/terminfo is a symbolic link to ../share/terminfo).
