Sorry about that; here is a new version.

Bruce: this bug was my own stupid fault, and I know where it was so
I've built this fixed version.  You can have the package back now.

ncurses (1.9.2c-1); priority=HIGH

  * Fixed bad compiled-in location for terminfo data.

This happened just after I installed the new ncurses packages. It
worked fine before that.
