Except the 'when installing popt' part. I bet you really meant 'when
doing the base ftp install'. But again, I'm just guessing 'cause I've
never done ftp installs.

I'd either
a) remove all the packages and check the version of ncurses.so*
(however, I would _not_ expect a pkg_remove to change this)

b) pull down the 3.5 & 3.6 base tarballs and see which version of
ncurses is in them.

In either case, I'd probably reinstall from scratch. It takes less than
15 minutes from a full CD (when I don't have to muck with partitions).
