Hi
I have a weird issue that happens from time to time involving ncurses
(modules conflict), when installing some packages; the bypass I found
is adding --skip-sanity-check to the package.
Can somebody help me to fix this issue for good? I'm not comfortable
to skip the sanity check every time I got the error.
e.g.

Those are some examples, it happens with some packages.
This is EasyBuild 5.1.0 (framework: 5.1.0, easyblocks: 5.1.0)
setenv EASYBUILD_MODULE_NAMING_SCHEME "HierarchicalMNS"
