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. |

NEEDED libncurses.so.5
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.

I'm against adding AUR packages to optdeps in official repos, but it's up to Sven.
