Description David Nyström 2012-05-28 14:16:03 UTC 
bitbake -c menuconfig <package_name> silently fails if there is no ncurses-devel on buildmachine.
devshell pops up only to be terminated due to missing ncurses, without visible error message.
$? == 0, for bitbake command.

Setting priority and accepting for RP as he has an initial patch out already.
