I suggest you open a bug here:
https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/issues
Your exotic Linux distro isn't supported by this package
(and, I guess, by any opam package):
---
# opam info --raw conf-ncurses
[...]
depexts: [
[["alpine"] ["ncurses-dev"]]
[["centos"] ["ncurses-devel"]]
[["debian"] ["ncurses-dev"]]
[["fedora"] ["ncurses-devel"]]
[["nixpkgs"] ["ncurses"]]
[["oraclelinux"] ["ncurses-devel"]]
[["rhel"] ["ncurses-devel"]]
[["ubuntu"] ["ncurses-dev"]]
]
[...]
---
There is always a price to pay when using exotic things.
