unable to install modelsim after nurses update
Hello everyone, so recently I had some issues with Pacman being unable to update as it said it needed to update the ncurses library from 6.5 to 6.6 and it was unable to do that because the modelsim-intel-starter package required me to have ncurses 6.5, so after uninstalling modelsim I found that I was able to update my system however I am no longer able to install modelsim from the AUR
whenever I try I get the following error
yay -S modelsim-intel-starter
-> No AUR package found for lib32-ncurses=6.5
-> could not find all required packages: lib32-ncurses =6.5

Re: unable to install modelsim after nurses update
The problem here is that lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs is out of date. You need to update to that 6.6, I don't know if it's as simple as a pkgver bump or not, or you have to wait for the maintainer to do it.

Sadly not the patches have to be adjusted. Based on https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … 126aa0b331:
