Description Juro Bystricky 2015-11-23 20:42:34 UTC 
When building ncurses-5.9, we will always get a warning:

WARNING: Failed to fetch URL ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/current/ncurses-5.9-20150329.tgz, attempting MIRRORS if available

because the link no longer exists.

Comment 3 Bogdan Alexandru Voiculescu 2016-01-06 10:24:30 UTC 
Verified: link removed.

It seems the site maintainer will keep only a limited of newer versions. This problem can occur on other recipes as well.
