Summary:                    lunar update removes ncurses 5.4, what causes an
inability to install 5.5
Description: 
'lunar update' lrm's ncurses 5.4, after which it tries to lin ncurses 5.5,
but bash won't work anymore, since it can't find /lib/libncurses*. So
ncurses should be excluded from automatic updateprocedures and be done
manually or it should not be lrm'ed by update before linning it.

tchan, can you see if this is fixed?

I ahve upgraded multiple machines and never come across this. The lunar
code also retains the old ncurses libraries while upgrading them. I have
never seen this go wrong. If this is a major problem then a reinstall or
rescue from the ISO is advised - but the lunar code cannot do more to
safeguard against random core library failure more than it already does.
