How NOP change can be wrong in the same time?

I am aware of that. It is internal ld/libraries/ldconfig things 
application shuld NOT know about. Because it is unneded details for it. 
Dependences created at _applications_ level, not at (often changed) system 
architecture level.

I use the right name - the name of library libradline really _depends_ on. 

The fact it becomes ncurses by chance is implementation details. It can be 
anything in some day, f.e. libc. Even it will be libc, there it is no 
reason change -ltermcap dependance to that.
