Oh, darn. That's /lib/libncurses.so.5, as dpkg-shlibdeps says.

I have libncurses5-dev 5.9-5 here. Also, talking about symlinks or not, I
have:

None of the directories there are symlinks, as you can see. Regarding
libncurses* and libtinfo*, there's something fishy here:
,----[ ls -l /lib/libncurses* /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/libncurses*
/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/libncurses* /lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5*

`----
In particular, note that I have /lib/libncurses.so.5.6 and
/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5.9. I wonder where that .5.6 thing
came from that it wasn't removed, because:
,----[ dpkg -S /lib/libncurses.so.5.6 ]
| dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /lib/libncurses.so.5.6.
`----
Seeing as I never install anything outside Debian, I don't know how it is
there (perhaps some fsck or whatever?).
I will try deleting those and seeing what happens.
