Yes please. At least, `nano` and `bash` do not function properly in Void's docker container without ncurses present. Bash: It took me a while to figure out why pressing [BACKSPACE] was printing [SPACE] in the interactive shell and ←, → arrow keys were not doing anything. Nano: in a fresh VoidLinux docker container, after installing nano when i ran it, it reported: `Error opening terminal: xterm.`. Just installing `ncurses` fixed both of these issues. (everything else mentioned on google, `check the output of $TERM`, `output of stty -a` etc. was in accord; I have tested it couple of times just to be sure). :)
