I've done a little (ok, a LOT) more research into the problem, and I've 
while I haven't found a solution, I do have more information that might be 
useful.

The install seems to install packages out of the service pack 3 group, but 
fails with the ncurses error when it tries to install packages that are 
not in SP3.  Neither ncurses, nor yast2-ncurses is in SP3.

I've mucked around with the order and instorder files, but that didn't 
help.  If anyone has any insight, I'd be most appreciative.
