[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello Guix,

I have a need to use ncurses-with-tinfo <at> 5.

The ncurses package embeds the version string in various places, and even
hard-codes the version-major 6 in a couple places, making it impractical to
just create a transformation.

Is this patch reasonable?
