>Description:
Today I upgraded my ncurses port from 5.8 to 5.9.  Unfortunately I run ejabberd on the server and it's expecting to find 5.8, not 5.9.  It complains and fails to start with the following error:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libncurses.so.5.8" not found, required by "beam.smp"

Installing the ejabberd port fails with:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libtinfo.so.5.8" not found, required by "beam"
>How-To-Repeat:
Pull the latest ports tree.  Try to configure ejabberd.
