If devel/ncurses is installed, shells/zsh links to libncursesw from that port but doesn't add it as a dependency.
To reproduce:
1. Install devel/ncurses
2. (Re)install shells/zsh
3. Run: % ldd `shich zsh` libncursesw.so.6.0 => /usr/local/lib/libncursesw.so.6.0 (0x8008f4000) ...
4. pkg_delete devel/ncurses
5. zsh cannot start: % ldd `which zsh` libncursesw.so.6.0 => not found (0x0) ...
Re-building shells/zsh fixes it:
% ldd `which zsh` libncursesw.so.8 => /lib/libncursesw.so.8 (0x8008f5000) ...
To sum it up, shells/zsh should either not link to devel/ncurses or list it as a dependency if it does.
Thanks for bringing this up. I noticed it a while ago but forgot to mail the maintainer.
While we are on the subject of silent dependencies, mail/mutt-devel links with ncurses silently too. I've attached the maintainer of mutt-devel to this mail so he can hopefully work up a patch.
