ok ..

apt-get update && apt-get install ncurses-dev

Package ncurses-dev is a virtual package provided by:
  libncurses5-dev 5.5-2
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package ncurses-dev has no installation candidate

I've done all the apt-get chasing in circles. It's ok now. If I force
all packages to version-upgrade for the sake of one lib then we will
see things really breaking. This is a very delicate fine-tuned distro.
But I wanted to recompile the kernel to get nvidia, etc .. in.
