This seems to break libyui-ncurses (and descendents)

[   47s] /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/libyui-ncurses-2.55.0/src/NCurses.h: At global scope:
[   47s] /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/libyui-ncurses-2.55.0/src/NCurses.h:170:5: error: 'NCursesPanel' does not name a type; did you mean 'NCursesPad'?
[   47s]   170 |     NCursesPanel * stdpan;
[   47s]       |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~
[   47s]       |     NCursesPad

Is that intentional (well, the change, not the fact that it breaks libyui)? if so, I'll approach the yast team to catch up with their code.

Does the lib stay ABI compatible? It does not change the soname after all.
