Hi

I found a small problem with htop package, which turned out to be two different glitches - one with htop, the second one with ncurses. I'm installing everything using pkgin which was set up during NetBSD system installation by the installer. when I did: pkgin install htop i got: calculating dependencies... done. /usr/lib/libmenu.so.5, needed by ncurses-5.9 is not present in this system. /usr/lib/libform.so.5, needed by ncurses-5.9 is not present in this system. nothing to upgrade. 1 packages to be installed: htop-1.0.1 (1302K to download, 6702K to install)
the following packages have unmet requirements: ncurses-5.9
proceed ? [Y/n] y downloading packages... installing packages... installing htop-1.0.1... pkg_install warnings: 0, errors: 0 reading local summary... processing local summary... updating database: 100% marking htop-1.0.1 as non auto-removable Which is really strange since it installs the package even though it can't meet its dependencies. This is the first problem. And after that, running htop fails with:
Error opening terminal: xterm.
My NetBSD 6.0 has a libmenu.so and libform.so but they're linked to libmenu.so.6 and 6.0 so it seems the real problem is with ncurses package which I suppose was built against NetBSD 5? I know I can build ncurses from pkgsrc but I wanted to use binary-only packages on this system. Can someone please fix ncurses package? I can't send a PR right now because I'm at work and netbsd.org is blocked. PS. My repository for pkgin is the default one: http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.0/All
so I thought all official packages should be built against a NetBSD 6.0 release.
It´s strange !, I'm using NetBSD 6.0 RC2 (i386) yet and using the same brach for binaries 6.0_2012Q3 as you without problems installing htop and ncursesw.
