I think namcap ignores dependencies in the 'base' group, since everyone is expected to have base installed, maybe? I'm not 100% sure of its internals in this sense.
That sounds like a reasonable possibility. To get an idea of whether it's more common to explicitly list base dependencies or leave them out I checked a couple of other packages that depend on ncurses. extra/editors/vim and aur/unsupported/alpine both depend on ncurses but don't have ncurses listed as a dependency. extra/network/irssi and extra/network/mutt, on the other hand, explicitly list ncurses as a dependency. So, it looks like there's a mixture in both official and aur based packages.
Being the guy who wrote namcap, I'm pretty sure it doesn't do this at all. Can I get a copy of the PKGBUILD to test with? It sounds like it should be detecting these... Jason
