'Nothing PROVIDES' means there is no bb recipe that provides the a
dependency, i.e., there is no bb recipe that declares it provides
'libform'. The libform package is generated dynamically from the ncurses
package, so the correct DEPENDS (which denotes a *build-time*
dependency), is 'ncurses'.

If your application links against libform, then this should be
automatically pulled into the image; you can manually add something to a
package run-time dependencies by adding it to the RDEPENDS variable (as
Jack says, in this case that should be 'ncurses-libform'), but you
should only need to do this for a library if the application dlopens it.

I hope this helps,

Tomas
