" lib64ncurses5 is really just libncurses5"
Bugged, I was afraid it was going to be something like that.
libncurses5:i386 was already installed when things were failing and
since it is a 32 bit binary (file filename confirms ELF 32-bit LSB
executable, dynamically linked and using shared links) I have no idea
why it is asking for 64 bit ncurses.
The binary does not officially support Ubuntu server (RedHat / Centos
only) although it works on my Kubuntu 10.04 desktop installation.
I am guessing something changed between ncurses 5.7 (ubuntu 10.04) and
5.9-4 (ubuntu 12.04) which breaks this particular program. Maybe it is
checking for or expecting specifically old versions which 10.04 just
happened to be compatible with; ah the joys and vagaries of closed-
source software.
Anyway, this does not appear to be an issue with ncurses or Ubuntu so I
shall close this ticket and go with centos this time.
** Changed in: ncurses (Ubuntu)
