[arm-allstar] How to install Screen

[ron at morell.us]

Operating impulsively here... 

I found this:
http://lists.hamvoip.org/pipermail/arm-allstar/2014-June/000078.html
And so updated my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so pacman might install. But,
gee, Screen needs libncursesw.so.6 and I'm pretty certain I need to
install ncurses to get that file.  That might be a deal breaker for
AllStar.  

I'm going to stop my pursuit of Screen until I get advice from competent
help. Hi Hi

I would like to use screen on the AllStar node. This is the result when
I try to install it from packages.

[root at allstar-ka7u ~]# pacman -S screen
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (1) screen-4.2.1-3

Total Download Size: 0.45 MiB
Total Installed Size: 0.80 MiB

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y

error: failed retrieving file 'screen-4.2.1-3-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz' from
mirror.archlinuxarm.org : The requested URL returned error: 404
warning: failed to retrieve some files
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
[root at allstar-ka7u ~]# 

I find the Screen rpm here:
http://fraggod.net/static/mirror/packages/archlinuxarm/armv7h/
But don't know if I should do it...

I'm not sure if dependencies will break the AllStar node and so don't
want to force the issue. But if there is a proper way to install Screen
without upsetting the balance of files for AllStar, I would be
interested in hearing about it.
