Details Description: When launching cuda-gdb from Nsight, I got the following error "Error in services launch sequence/opt/cuda/bin/cuda-gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Installing ncurses5-compat-libs from the AUR fixed this. Additional info: * cuda 7.5.18-1 * ncurses 6.0-3 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: Run cuda-gdb. |

How about that, you're correct.
/opt/cuda/bin/cuda-gdb
NEEDED libncurses.so.5

I decided against building ABI 5 ncurses libraries just for CUDA; all other packages in our repos use the new ABI. [1]
The problem here is closed-source software using a system library instead of providing its own copy. I still think it should be left as-is but perhaps our cuda or ncurses maintainers have a different opinion.

Fair enough. If that's the decision, could they include the AUR package as a mentioned optional depend like I've seen other packages doing so people know to install that if they need it?

Which packages in official repositories mention ncurses5-compat-libs?
I'm against adding AUR packages to optdeps in official repos, but it's up to Sven.

No I'm not going to do that. This should really go into the wiki instead.
