Just checked, v6 is even not available on the newer Ubuntu Trusty which 
we have on travis. But we are using v6 on OSX already :)

Maybe this would be enough for now

diff --git a/.travis-functions.sh b/.travis-functions.sh
index 6fcf019..3766534 100755
--- a/.travis-functions.sh
+++ b/.travis-functions.sh
@@ -95,6 +95,14 @@ function travis_install_script
 		libsystemd-daemon-dev \
 		libsystemd-journal-dev \
+		libncursesw5-dev \
 		|| true
 }


BTW I find the older libs usually more useful on test systems. Because 
the newer ones are tested already on the developer systems and by 
distro packagers ;)
