What you see is, that for some architectures version 2.9 has not yet
been built. On those architectures, gtypist 2.8.x depends on ncurses5.
Just wait a few days until gtypist has been built on all architectures
and uploaded and then you'll only see ncursesw as dependency on this
site.

Saw it. But the code above, which you left, is also not necessary.
AC_CHECK_LIB adds -lncursesw to $LIBS automatically if libncursesw is
available :) See the autoconf documentation.

Thanks for the explanation. I'll handle those being my part :) with the
next upload. Might take a few days.
