Looking at /sbin/yast2, it gets some functions from 
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/yast2-funcs.  In there is a check that generates that 
message:
/usr/bin/ldd "$Y2_NCURSES" | grep --quiet "=> not found"
where Y2_NCURSES=$plugindir/libpy2ncurses.so.2 and 
plugindir=/usr/lib64/YaST2/plugin

So, if you execute
/usr/bin/ldd /usr/lib64/YaST2/plugin/libpy2ncurses.so.2 | grep --quiet "=> not 
found"
That will tell you what shared library is missing.  From there, you should be 
able to figure what package is missing (hopefully).
