Description:
After installing ncurses, the following lib is installed as a symlink:

'/lib/libtinfo.so.5' -> '/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5'*

However, the following symlink is missing:
'/lib/libtinfo.so' -> '/lib/libtinfo.so.5'*


Additional info:
* ncurses version: 6.0+20170128-1

Impact: compiling something that depends on this library fails.

Ex: `stack install haskeline`, which needs libtinfo behind the scene with '/usr/bin/ld'.

I found this issue on the bug tracker of haskeline: https://github.com/judah/haskeline/issues/57
This task depends upon
