[issue27900] ctypes fails to find ncurses via ncursesw on Arch Linux

New submission from daniel hahler: The following code fails on Arch Linux: import ctypes.util print(ctypes.util.find_library("ncurses")) It first looks at "ldconfig -p" (via _findSoname_ldconfig), which only contains: libncursesw.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6
