But I found this:

sh-2.05b$ sudo lsof | grep -i usr/src/ncurses
xterm      8619    root  mem    DEL       0,18             3322668 /usr/src/ncurses-5.3/old.libraries/libncurses.so.5.3
sh         8620 hvisage  mem    DEL       0,18             3322668 /usr/src/ncurses-5.3/old.libraries/libncurses.so.5.3
sh-2.05b$ 

Thus, there's a race condition/situation where starting a program, that
uses ncurses, during installation, it'll keep the /usr/src directory :(

I've seen something similar elsewhere too, but can't remember where..
