Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc/issues/451

So I just had a break from Linux and lived with Windows 10. Now I just returned and wanted to see if I can update my maintained nbfc and nbfc-git packages for Arch Linux. I faced one issue - build fails. To be more exact, this is what fails:

cert-sync "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"

So I googled the error messages and came to this Stack Overflow Thread. The OP stated, that the issue was resolved after downgrading ncurses package from 6.1 to 6.0, so I did it too and nbfc-git successfully installed.

Sharing commands for other Arch Linux/Manjaro users for downgrade guide to latest ncurses 6.0.* version:
wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/n/ncurses/ncurses-6.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/lib32-ncurses/lib32-ncurses-6.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -U ncurses-6.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz lib32-ncurses-6.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
And re-install nbfc-git from AUR.

QUESTION to NBFC author: Any chance this could be fixed from your side?
