Hey Benny!

 BP> anyone have a patch or sulution to it ?

Upgrade to ncurses-6.5.  I just tried it and it yeilds;

 :read ldd fconfig
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007f41eb1c4000)
        libncursesw.so.6 => /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6 (0x00007f41eb074000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f41eae92000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f41eb1c6000)
 :read ldd fmail
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fae7bc5b000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fae7b9f0000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fae7bc5d000)
 :read ldd ftools
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fcc3e0d2000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fcc3de99000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fcc3e0d4000)

From this angle it looks like only fconfig requires ncurses and in this nech of the woods that means ncurses-6.5.

Life is good,
Maurice
