Leap 15.6rc breakage: libncurses.so.5

Recent updates have broken things in 15.6rc that used to work. For example:
Code:$ htop -d20
htop: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$I checked in YaST and libncurses6 was installed. libncurses5 was not. Installing "5" has had no effect. Manually running ldconfig hasn't helped either. What I see when running "ldconfig -p" is:
Code:# ldconfig -p | grep curses
libncursesw.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libncursesw.so.6
libncursesw.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libncursesw.so.5
libncurses.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libncurses.so.6
libncurses.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libncurses.so.5
libncurses++w.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libncurses++w.so.6
libncurses++w.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libncurses++w.so.5
libncurses++.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libncurses++.so.6
libncurses++.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libncurses++.so.5Looks like it ought to be recognized but htop (at least) isn't working. (Who knows what else is now broken?)

Ideas?

TIA for any hints, clues, etc.
