current: cd /lib ; ln -s libncurses.so.9 libncurses.so.8 xterm & ffox

[Julian H. Stacey]

Hi ports@
A libcurses version problem:

Running 13.0-CURRENT with
/usr/src 
 cat .svn_revision 359319
 cat .ctm_status src-cur 14430
/usr/ports
 cat .svn_revision 529842
 cat .ctm_status ports-cur 13423

After 
 pkg upgrade
 pkg autoremove
xterm & firefox failed with
 ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libncurses.so.8" not found, required by "xterm"

Fixed temporarily with:
 cd /lib ; ln -s libncurses.so.9 libncurses.so.8 ; ldconfig -R

It's 6.1 in ports:
 cd /usr/ports/devel/ncurses ; make ;  find . -name \*libncurses.so\* | sort
 ./work/ncurses-6.1-20190525/build.nowidec/lib/libncurses.so

Next to look at /usr/src/
