I've run into this several times in the past, while messing around with my test systems. I believe the cause is that you have yast2-ncurses installed, but not the ncurses package itself. I'm pretty sure you don't need the ncurses-devel package, but keep that in the back of your mind. If "rpm -qa | grep curses" only shows the yast2-ncurses package, then this is most likely your problem.
