Summary:                    _curses.so is missing python27
(2.7.8,REV=2014.09.23)  (sparc solaris 10 9/10)
Description: 
Hi folks!  It looks like there's a bug in the python27 build.  Maybe it was
linked against /lib/libcurses.so instead of ncurses or something?

I would love to avoid building python from scratch on these machines - you
guys do such a great job :)

Apologies sir, I'm just barely getting my feet with wet with mgar :)

When I build the package with out libssl_dev installed, i get:

Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were
not found:
_bsddb             _ssl               _tkinter        
bsddb185           linuxaudiodev      ossaudiodev     
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the
module's name.

But after installing libssl_dev (via pkgutil -i libssl_dev), the _ssl
module builds cleanly.  I inferred that adding BUILD_DEP_PKGS +=
CSWlibssl-dev would force the dependency at build time -- is there a better
way?

(I'm just trying to orient myself with the right way to resolve)

Thanks sir!
